Every room has a motion sensor that's used to kill all power to the room, so if you're not actually in the room all the lights and AC turn off. Great idea in theory -- the hotel staff explain that this is part of the hotel's effort to go green and be energy efficient. Only problem is, when it's hot outside (we were there for July 4 when the temps were in the 90s), and you're finally asleep at night, guess what: no motion = no AC. We kept waking up every couple of hours soaked in sweat, and had to pace the room to trigger the motion sensor again so the AC would turn on. Earlier in the day we asked the front desk about this matter, and they said nothing could be done to disable the sensor. They even sent an engineer to our room, who told us he could actually disable the sensor but had no authorization to do so, and that he had orders from the hotel managers to not disable any of the sensors (he also mentioned that a ton of guests have been complaining about the very same issue). Good ol' Corporate America executives, not willing to give any lower level employees the power of discretion or the directive to use common sense. Lovely hotel, we may go back if they decide not to bake their guests any more.
