Disappointed
Pros:

That it was clean

Cons:

Well, it never noted that they were under construction. The parking lot was full of old furniture and construction equipment had to park far from the hotel. construction going on everywhere it would’ve been nice to know cause I would’ve got a different place to stay . The hotel was doing a major update to the hotel made it pretty inconvenient but as far as the room, it was nice and cleaned. That’s the only good thing I could say about it.
