"I actually got the "suite" for a family member and his sons. Unfortunately, the pre-teens became mischievous after my family member fell asleep (after a long funeral service). Security called and texted me several times to let me know about their misbehavior. I understood. What I did not appreciate was the tenor of the persons tone as he threatened a few times to "call the cops," even after I assured him that I had reached my family member. His manner was mean-spirited and ominous. Then again,...

But the first night, it took an hour or more on the phone and via email and text to get sheets, blanket, towels for our third person. So that was such a pain. Another issue is that there were directions for using a garage (no price listed), but the garage opener was not in the loft, so we had to use the street parking, which was...
