If you’re gona have active construction going on with hotel guest- try not putting guest in the same wing as constructio
Pros:

Convenient location to food and all the major shopping and restaurants

Cons:

Under construction. They literally put us in a room where they were actively hammering and sawing next door to us. You can smell the saw dust and paint in our room. Disgusting

It was overall a good stay.
Pros:

It was clean. It was located near restaurants.

Cons:

More to offer at breakfast. The bathroom - the sink, toilet, and shower were all together, so it made it hard to get ready in the morning. It would have been nice to have the sink separate so that one could be getting ready while the other person was showering. That is just a personal preference.

Pros:

Location perfect for business. I have stayed before and will stay here again. Staff was helpfull with any problems I had.

Cons:

You guys were in the middle of renovations. Key stopped working a few times. Elevator was not working at times. I extended my original stay but couldnt get the staff to clean room after giving notice. I had to go to desk and get fresh towels and toilet paper.

Decent for a quick weekend getaway
Pros:

The room was a nice size and it looked fresh and clean with modern decor. The beds were excellent as were the pillows. Nice lighting and temperature control. The place was very close to all three places we wanted to visit so that was really nice. Nice inclusive breakfast too with lots of variety.

Cons:

The bathroom had hasty paint marks on the corners of the walls and the door didn’t close. The towels were also not very thick and there was no designated bath rug so I just used a towel.

Not to happy, lack of enough bathroom towels. And have to put plastic bags in trash cans myself.
Cons:

I really don't have anything to say. I'm not a big fan of hotel breakfast. To much unhealthy foods other than the fruit.
