Do Better
Hotel was under construction so the parking was horrid. The elevator needs to be updated. Definitely seemed like you were taking a chance by using it. Or room was on the opposite side of the hotel and the key they gave us didn’t work. I had to search the Internet to find the number to the front desk and thankfully they delivered a key.
The room was very large and they use Dove soap…which is great. Or fridge had someone else’s food in it. The TV was not working when using the remote I had to manually use the TV buttons. Also, the next morning when we attempted to call the front desk using the room phone it wasn’t connected to anything. Literally just a phone with no cords and no place to plug it in.
Overall, we will not stay here again.

Under Renovation - AVOID
Not revealed anywhere, this hotel is under major renovation activity. No fitness center. No guest laundry. Condition of available rooms is poor. Bathroom door didn’t latch. Plumbing and faucets are in terrible shape. Bathroom tub and sink would not drain. Also not revealed is a $10 daily parking fee.
Staff was helpful and friendly.
The Motel 6 next door would have been a better choice.

Construction during my stay
I’ve stayed here my last 8 business trips usually lasting a week. I must say I’m a little disappointed when booking hotel it doesn’t mention anywhere of construction going on which unfortunately was happening during my stay. To top it off I arrived 10pm Sunday after a long trip and they were having trouble with the key card machine. I had to wait 10 mins to check in and then I needed to wait for someone to let me in the room. Now to be clear the service was awesome they gave me some drink vouchers for the bar but still not what I wanted to deal with during my trip.

Upfront Communications
Trying to check in, first operator said possibly, to call back in an hour. Second operator said no, matter if factly, not till 2:30. Check in later and then was notified of ongoing renovations being done on site. No prior notice. Very poor communication about the construction and lack of enough parking due to contractor’s equipment taking up numerous parking areas. Hallways dirty with drywall debris. Sad
