Less frills, more substance please

Stayed here last night. I had a big national nursing board exam at 7am and hoped to get a good night's sleep. Well, when they built this nice hotel, they spent all the money in frills and forgot to insulate the walls! Had to move rooms at midnight because I could hear my neighbors chatting and laughing (and the wouldn't shut up even after maintenance told them there was a noise complaint). Also, the doors are heavy and you can hear people above, below and to the sides of you closing doors (sounds like a prison). Moved rooms, got some sleep and woke up to find that they DON'T have any kind of continental breakfast "we have a restaurant attached to the hotel that starts serving at 6am". So, I ended up having to pay $8 for a bowl of cereal, some coffee and a scrabbled egg. After paying a $101 for the room, you'd think they'd have some kind of measly breakfast. Lastly, the location is great if you are taking your NCLEX (or any other exam) at the Arcade building as it is right across the foot street. If I have to retake my NCLEX, I'd stay here again just for the convenience, otherwise, I would NEVER stay again at this specific hotel.
