I do apologize if you feel that management was rude, as we simply stated policy multiple times. It is posted that we are undergoing renovations on all booking sites, including Travelocity, and we also send out pre-arrival emails which include that we are undergoing renovations. However, I am a little confused on how construction noise was going on for hours, as you were in the room for less than an hour. I am glad that we were able to check you out early and give a full refund for your stay.We hope to welcome you again in the future.

Super fast check in & check out. The parking deck is VERY tight but other than that, I'd come back. I attended an event at the Koger Ctr so was about 2 blocks away. Convenient! Friendly staff as well.
