Not a good place, needs more attention and cleaning
Pros:

Location was good, quick check in.

Cons:

Property was under renovation, construction dirt was in the room, on the floors mainly in the bathroom. The bathroom was not very clean, lots of hairs in shower and huge wad of hair on the floor behind the door. Beds were not comfortable and room was freezing on arrival.

I felt cheated due to price and inconvenience this trip.
Pros:

Breakfast was good but would like some meat variety if possible (sausage every day). Liked juice variety. Cinnamon rolls can't be beat! Area kept clean. Staff friendly, including construction workers.

Cons:

Ice only available on 6th floor.(We were on 2nd) Remodeling was still ongoing-noise, messy, inconvenience. Missing hair dryer in room. Sofa was in bad shape. Price of room was pretty high for the inconvenience of remodeling. I probably wouldn't have stayed & paid if I knew it was still happening. I will remember to check next time. Last year we had to go to basement for breakfast due to remodeling. I assumed it would be done. My error...

Price should have been cheaper noisy neighbors and halls made it less relaxing.
Pros:

Breakfast was good and staff was nice

Cons:

You can hear everything going on in the room beside you down to a simple conversation. The bedding is very thin I kept having to adjust the thermostat so I wouldn’t be freezing all night
