John, Deerfield

The bed was not comfortable, very noisy every time you moved. The vent in the room was noisy when the a/c kicked on. I was very disappointed that I paid for 2 nights of secure parking only to find out that 34 cars had their windows smashed. My window miraculously was not. However, someone from behind the desk, who seemed franctic handed me my car keys on the way out as there was no valet present. I was not yet aware of what happened. He did not offer any warning or tell me what happened which I thought was very poor.

Overall, my stay was very good – the hotel was clean, comfortable, and the staff were friendly. The only downside was the lack of soundproofing. I’m not sure if there was construction going on, but I did hear some loud banging at times, which made it hard to fully relax. Aside from that, everything else was excellent.
