The property was in the middle on construction when I was staying however it didn't not greatly effect the cleanliness or add noise. Clean room, beautifully designed and overall great stay.

Hotel was under renovation. I contacted Expedia to see if they could move my reservation to another hotel and they were unable to resolve my issue. Hotel refused to release my reservation or move me to another room since safety box wasn't working. Wifi didn't work. My balcony view was to a rental car carwash and taken apart car

It was the worst experience of my life in a hotel. I’m a night nurse and I work nights and sleep in the day. They didn’t disclose ahead of time that there was any type of construction that was jackhammer going off all day long it was filthy dirty outside of the hotel room the carpets the lounge the check up Whenever you needed something you had to call three or four times the office was in the garage. it just felt unsafe all around. It was broken glass down in the parking garage. There was no ice machines. They were broken.
