Avoid Room 290
I was in Room 290 and this is my experience. Being upstairs is my preference because you do not have to worry about people dropping things on their floor (your ceiling) all night long and keeping you awake.
Being next to the stairs, is even worse and Room 290 is the worse room I have stayed in over 10 years of corporate travel.
The door to the emergency stairwell creaks when it is opened and the cylinder meant to slowly close the door did not work, do the door slammed shut. When you were in the room, it was loud enough to wake you up. And, it slammed so hard, the door would bounce.
There is a breezeway outside the room - this room is not inside the holidome. Whenever people were talking, the volume was amplified by the breezeway.
The curtain on the window that is supposed to be drawn shut to keep light out of the room did not completely shut - so you got an eerie glow from the breezeway.
When a neighbor runs the bath, you will think it is Niagra Falls. I made the mistake of choosing the bed next to the wall. I was waken from a dead sleep at 6 AM this morning when a neighbor took a bath.
Lastly, there was one phone in the room. Usually that is not an issue, but this room has a work desk and the phone had been moved there. So, if you were expecting to sleep in after the wake up call- there was no need as Niagra Falls and bouncing doors woke me before 6, then you would have to get up to answer it.
(On a side note, the clock in the room was very hard to program. I usually make sure that there is not a surprise alarm - it did go off at midnight, but I was too tired from the noise to figure out how to turn the alarm off, so it went off at midnight like it said it would. Had I paid more attention, I would have seen the obscure red dot denoting the alarm was set. I did not know how to "unset" it, so tonight's guest will have the same surprise I did.)
