False Fire Alarm Issue
Pros:

The Hotel location & Airplane themed decor was pretty. It's a comfortable stay for one night

Cons:

The fire alarm FALSELY going off just after 3am a few times, giving me PTSD and a big scare as I was there with my family, and then no explaining what happened and staff acting like it never happened while guests are uncertain and some guests were even crying.
