Beware the elevator rooms!

I booked on hotwire for an average of 160 a night. They booked us in a small room next to an elevator. Worst sleep ever had in a hotel. Extremely noisy. A four star hotel simply should not be...

Michelene (sp) and Miguel were able to put me in a corner suite after I let them know about problems with my first room (funky smelling shower, problems with TV and wireless). Kudos to them for making...
