When booking the room we were not alerted to the ongoing construction. The lobby was totally demoed and filthy. The elevators were in the same state - wires hanging from the ceiling. While the room was clean construction brave before 9 am and was quite disruptive. Further the water was shut off to our room without any notice whatsoever. When we called the front desk they said they were unaware of this issue but after reading other reviews this is a normal occurrence. The straw that broke the camels back was when the construction crew starting whistling and cat calling at my 16 year old daughter!!! Completely unacceptable.

This is a budget hotel with budget accommodations. The hotel is under construction, and by that I don't mean that some part of the hotel is under construction. The whole thing is actively under construction- the lobby, elevators, hallway, gym. This hotel is fine if you are just looking for shelter - a place to stay. Don't expect anything more because that is all you will receive. Our shower also completely flooded our bathroom with each use. It is the cheapest hotel around for a reason. You get what you pay for.

It would’ve been nice to be notified that this property was under EXTREME renovations prior to coming. Our rooms looked like they were “renovated” but the shower door in my room didn’t close, there was a massive space between the floor and the door leading to the hallway that if someone laid on the floor they could look out into the hall. The bed frames had no stoppers for the mattress so the mattress was slipping off the base of the bed frame. Random pieces of wet cardboard and nails on the floor, one of my guests almost slipped and fell on a wet piece of cardboard coming out of the elevator. Overall super disappointed and pretty shocked you are charging guests regular price to stay at this hotel. Would’ve appreciated some type of discount.

Hotel under construction. Lobby filthy. Workout room and restaurant closed. Hammering and construction sounds all day into evening. Phoned front desk 4 times to try to get construction to stop in rhe evening . They said they would stop at 5:30 pm. Construction sounds finally stopped at 6;15 pm. Nobody at front desk for 10 Minutes when we arrived. This hotel charged us over $300 a night . Glad to be going to another hotel

Nightmare

Hotel is under major renovation, we had to wait for a fork lift to move to enter. Rooms that were supposed to be ready were not, someone had slept in our room, door open,beds unmade. Then switched us to a one bed room, we paid for 2 A/C barely worked went to room 3. Employee comes down to argue the A/C was ok in rm 2. The room with one bed. Parking is atrocious. DO NOT waste your money.

We were not informed of renovations, we walked into a horrible unsafe mess. We have photos and videos we will be emailing...but the customer service was horrible, even the workers working on renovations were so incredibly UNKIND and rude. We left from our vacation early because it was so uncomfortable and loud. We get ONE vacation a year from our 3 young kids and this one was the worst experience we ever had. We plan to email photos and videos of our broken elevators, disgusting unsafe and dangerous halls, even the loud noises which made for sleepless nights and mornings. We've already gotten in touch with several people and plan to go higher up for a refund for this "vacation" that was pure hell for this couple from far out of town.

Terrible experience

This was probably one of the worse experiences I’ve ever had staying at a hotel. The hotel was under construction from the hours of 8:30am-4pm every single day. I understand that hotels need to be worked on and updated but there should have been some type of communication about the state of this hotel before I booked and paid for it. I honestly would not have stayed here knowing that I would have been woken up every day at 8:30am to banging and chainsaws going on the floor below and above the floor we stayed on. Very disappointed in our stay here.
