Room was good... Updated, clean, comfortable. The lobby was under construction and quite a mess. A little heads-up would have prepared me for what to expect, but other than that surprise, it was a fine stay.

Our room was great. The first room they put us in the ac wasn't working well, but they moved us to another room. Parking was a little tricky but they let us park in valet when there weren't any parking spaces left. The only let down was they were remodeling and the gym and pool were closed. So when you first go inside it makes you think twice about your booking since it's got so much plastic and construction going on. But like I said we were happy with our room.

Property is under construction - all parking spots are labeled for valet only - BUT not currently using valet - so really they are all open- you just don't know that. Room was okay. Absolutely no insulation / sound proofing between rooms or door to hall. Neighbor turned on TV at about 230 AM and woke us up and kept us awake. Not sure if same, but others were in hall about same time and they were loud and we could hear them quite clearly. while upgrading rooms it would be nice if you could work on how much noise transfers to room. Take and go breakfast is a joke- mini sausage biscuit thing, prepackage muffin, prepackaged small bagels, granola bar, one type of yogurt, apple juice and a small cream cheese in a fridge on a counter that looked like it was well used. no toaster for bagels.

The room was great thankfully because all of that dust, dirt, banging, sawing, was unacceptable. No swimming pool available. It just wasn’t somewhere people should be staying in for a restful night sleep. You should really consider closing until all those workers coming in and out are finished, so people can enjoy themselves. It was my first vacation in 10 years and the hotel was not up to par in any ways - the conditions!!!!!
