My wife and I stayed at this hotel over Christmas, 2007 (1 year after the previous reviewer). Same experience/problems as her. Our toilet got stopped up the first day. The staff did clear it up the same day, but we were obviously hesitant to use it again. The second night we were awakened by a mechanical sounding rat-a-tat-a-tat in the middle of the night. It only lasted for 6 minutes, but of course I had no idea how long it would last while it was going on. I reported it to the desk the next morning, but got no answer as to what caused it. Then that evening when we got back to our room we heard the noise again (around 10:00 pm). I snooped around and found that there was an air compressor machine in a closet that was RIGHT NEXT TO the wall where our bed was located (room 110 - avoid this room if you don't want to be awakened in the middle of the night). I immediately went to the front desk and complained. The clerk was very accommodating and offered to move us, which I accepted. The third thing I noticed was similar to what the previous reviewer reported. At breakfast one morning two of the housekeeping staff had a lengthly and loud personal conversation in the breakfast room that lasted at least 15 minutes. I was he only guest there at that time, but I thought it was very unprofessional for them to be so engaged in front of a guest. I will never stay at that hotel again, needless to say.
