Beware: Lobby is under construction

The lobby was getting renovated which had we known we my not have stayed at that location. We paid $389 a night which I feel was a bit expensive for a place that was under construction. When we arrived at 3PM our room was not ready. We were told to come back in 30 mins. Since there was no lobby, we had to leave and find somewhere to wait. The person at the front desk was apologetic.

The rooms were clean. It was a great area to stay in. It was just too bad. They were under construction, so everything was kind of a mess along with the elevator being shut down for a while because they were working on it on the weekend and the hot tub was not in use so that was a bit disappointing.

Too dirty

Hotel is doing renovations in the main common areas, which is good. But the rest of the hotel has not been cleaned. Found a ketchup packet had on the floor by the drapes. Very dirty carpet in room and hallways. Pool was dirty and no towels provided. Hot tub was empty and sign said it was closed by the health department.

There was a lot going on and you had to go through construction zone to get to the elevators. Noise started one morning at 7 am. Room didn’t get cleaned both days (one day because we left Do not disturb sign up) but second day even after requesting a cleaning. If you just need a place to park yourself at night, this is OK. There’s literally no space to sit and wait even for a minute. In your room or out of the hotel.

I can't believe this property is renting rooms. It's in horrible condition. The carpets are stained, the tub has rust, broken objects are in the room, and mold surrounds the pool. I trusted the reviews and did not learn that this place was under construction until I booked a room. I will be posting this on Google with photos (since learning unfavorable reviews never get approval and stay in pending status).

Overall decent for price, could use updates

The first floor was under construction, understandably it looks all torn up. They did a good job of keeping the area clean despite the construction. The room is dated and the hallway was hot and muggy and carpet in the hallway was stained. The toilet looked dirty but I think it was stained. The floor and grout was aged and dirty looking. But the shower was clean and worked fine. The pool was decent but aging (stained tiles, water damage walls). Oh and my in room coffee maker didn’t work. The saving grace was the clean and comfortable bed, and quiet room. Also the staff was very friendly and efficient with check in and check out, and asked me if everything was okay. Breakfast was decent. The stay was overall comfortable and met my needs but the room was pretty run down (not something the staff could have done anything about in the moment). I hope the renovations are continued beyond the lobby and into the rooms, then it will be a much nicer hotel. It is decent for the price.
