I booked this hotel last minute, with my travel changes, and wanted a place close to the airport and quiet. The location was a poor choice on my behalf, because the front street of the hotel was a major transportation hub for subway and bus, with heavy traffic. The staff did give me a room on the backside of the hotel and upper floor, as I requested. However, when I opened the door, all I heard was pounding and heavy machinery noise. When I looked out of the window, there was a new residential building under construction that is 2 years away from being finished [steel and concrete framed]. The building was over 10 stories high and workers doing various things on multiple floors. It was after 5:30 PM and so I called to main desk to ask about their schedule. The receptionist indicated they finished at 8 PM and started at 9;00 AM. At this point I’d already checked in and it was raining, so I just was exhausted from the whole experience. The next morning around 7;00 AM the machinery and noise started again. I’m very disappointed with the whole experience. I travel often, but didn’t have a good experience with Expedia this trip of 3 weeks.
