Review - Residence Inn Colorado Springs North/Air Force Academy

My family recently spent 7 nights at the Residence Inn by Marriott - Colorado Springs North (https://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/costw-residence-inn-colorado-springs-north-air-force-academy/) in a 2 bedroom suite and while there were MANY issues with our stay, there were also really good things too.

I'll start with the good:
-Room was ready on time.
-Staff was extremely friendly and even knew us by name and went out of their way to be kind to our daughter (who was 1.5 at the time of the stay)
-Great location
-Free Parking
-Clean


And on to the not so good:
-Even though we requested the top floor months in advance and again a week in advance, we were put on the 3rd floor with a LOUD group above us for the first half of our stay.  At no point were we offered to move to the 4th floor after that group checked out.  AND another group was put above us.  While they weren't AS loud, it would have been nice to have our request honored.
-We also requested our room face the mountains, this request wasn't honored either.
-Housekeeping always came LATE to our room, close to dinner time, which resulted is not having our room cleaned a few times.  One time they even put a sign on the door that we didn't need service, but our door handle was STILL in our room.
-Breakfast ran out really quickly

Overall, we would stay here again, but would hope to have the top floor.  Would also hope that housekeeping would come a bit earlier in the day.
