Finished my third stay at this hotel this weekend. Looks like they are no longer charging for parking. My first stay I was charged $8, but my second and third stay I was not charged for parking. I was upgraded again to a suite, but this time it was facing dodge street. The noise is pretty loud from the street, about 5x's as loud compared to the other side of the hotel. The noise from the full sized fridge cycling is somewhat noisy... I was thinking that since these are brand new refrigerators this issue would be fixed.
I did have some issues... Around 2pm we had a person walk in without knocking on our door right after we returned from lunch. They had a clip board and quickly apologized and walked out. They did not state who they were or what they were doing. It's the second time that I have stayed at an Element hotel and had someone walk into the room. I talked quickly with a manager and he seemed very puzzled. I asked if they were doing room checks and he said that they were not at that time, but that there were cable tv repair men in the hotel but they were suppose to only be on the 5th floor which is unopened. The cleaning ladies on each stay have also come to clean the room around 4pm, knocked and tried to enter the room... even though the do not disturb magnet was displayed on the door.
Overall it's a very nice hotel. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I still think it's the best place to stay in Omaha, but I am wondering if I should contact the corporate office about unwanted people entering or trying to enter the room.
