Pool was closed. No bathtubs in bathroom. Small bathroom. Parking is not great. Valet is expensive, but fortunately there is an affordable public ramp not far away. Lots of noisy traffic going by all the time -- Harleys, pickup trucks, people racing each other. Keycard system in elevator and at doors was somewhat hard to use. When it would work, the lights would flash green and red at the same time. Doesn't make sense. Lots of people not wearing masks in spite of the posted requirement.

Renovations

Pros: Friendly staff.
Cons: no construction during weekends.
Overall it was a very good experience. The renovations which are really nice but construction was going on until 6pm on Sat night and there was a decent amount of noise. The newly renovated room was very nice and the people were very friendly and helpful. We ended up getting a shuttle from the hotel to the Wells Fargo arena and back which is awesome considering how rainy the weather was.
