Under major construction. Staff was good, room was clean but common areas, lobby were full of construction materials and debris and very little parking available for to construction vehicles. Not disclosed when booking I definitely would’ve stayed somewhere else for the price.

Electric went off which is not hotels fault. I assumed they would have a better backup plan for when this happened. No lights, air or hot water. Other than that the hotel is great.

They are renovating and the dining area and reception were a mess. Breakfast was disappointing, possibly due to the renovation but both days we went at different times and it was busy with limited choices. Picture showed a hot tub, there is no hot tub. The site also doesn't mention one but my husband was disappointed. Pool was awesome for kids, not warm enough for me. Our room was clean and recently renovated. The housekeeping staff was very friendly. We were on the 7th floor and could hear traffic and some jerk revving his engine so high it sounded like muffled gunshots for hours and it was difficult to sleep the first night.
