We
recently
stayed
at
the
Grand
Mercure
for
nine
nights
in
a
junior
suite,
and
want
to
start
out
by
mentioning
some
of
the
positives.
First
of
all
the
food
was
really
good
each
day
at
the
buffet
breakfast,
and
the
same
can
be
said
of
our
other
meals
at
the
same
restaurant.
The
facility
itself
was
well
kept,
and
the
staff
were
professional
and
highly
attentive.
That
said,
there
were
two
fairly
significant
negatives,
that
would
prevent
me
from
ever
staying
at
this
hotel
again.
First
of
all
is
the
noise
level
coming
from
the
attached
convention
center
on
this
hotel.
Almost
every
night
from
about
7:00pm
till
about
10:30pm-11:00pm
there
were
concerts
at
extremely
loud
volume
levels.
As
someone
coming
from
overseas,
and
needing
to
go
to
bed
early
and
waking
up
early,
these
concerts
were
impossible
to
sleep
through.
The
entire
room
was
vibrating,
and
the
large
glass
front
window
for
our
room
was
literally
shaking.
Yes
-
way,
way,
too
loud.
I
can't
understand
how
management
(those
who
make
decisions
behind
the
scenes)
of
the
hotel
allow
this.
I
was
told
repeatedly
that
these
concerts
always
end
at
10:00pm
promptly,
but
that
was
rarely
the
case.
The
other
issue
with
this
hotel
is
the
elevator
setup.
There's
just
simply
not
enough
elevator
capacity
for
a
hotel
of
this
size.
On
top
of
that,
people
get
frustrated
waiting
for
elevators
so
on
almost
every
floor
people
will
push
both
the
up
and
down
buttons,
causing
most
of
the
elevators
to
stop
at
these
floors.
To
make
matter
worse,
hotel
staff
will
take
one
or
two
of
the
elevators
offline
if
they
feel
it's
not
busy.
I
simply
could
not
understand
the
logic
behind
this
-
however
maybe
there's
a
reason...
If
you
like
good
breakfast
food,
don't
plan
on
sleeping
every
night
until
11pm,
and
don't
mind
waiting
sometimes
10
minutes
to
get
on
an
elevator,
then
maybe
this
is
a
choice.
However,
not
for
me...
