Our room was very clean and the front desk was very pleasant checking in. We did, however, have a 11:15pm fire alarm in which we all needed to evacuate the building. We were never told by staff or the fire department that the building was safe to re-enter. After being outside and waiting more than 30 minutes to go back into the hotel, the fire trucks drove away. We all slowly re-entered after that. I was expecting better communication. Nothing at all was not ok.
