Even though there was construction during our stay, the hotel staff tried to make the stay pleasant. They put us on a higher floor away from the noise and gave us drink vouchers for the bar. Bar staff was very nice.

GREAT location downtown! Bed and pillows were comfortable. Inviting veranda to hang out on off the bar area. Delicious restaurants and breweries within walking distance. Looks like they are working on a pretty extensive renovation of the pool area during our stay. Beautiful mountain view from our room

Everything was excellent except…..,,Pool and fitness center were closed. Upgrades looked like a ways off. I would be shocked if ready by Memorial Day weekend. The “2nd floor” area of bar, outside rooftop (with fire places and fire pits) and Starbucks shop were awesome. Located within a 5 or 6 block walk to many restaurants, bars and shopping.

They were doing construction so it was right belows us, but we were out for most of the time so it was not that bad. Other guest had dogs, and they left the alone for hrs and they just barked all night. Not the hotel's fault, but it was annoying.

Under construction but not a problem
We were not bothered by any noise on Saturday morning, can't say the same thing for the bachelorette party members the night before - but out of their hands. We had the handicapped room which really good use more hooks to hang things on - like towels in the sink area and bathtub area. Even a couple of hooks in the foyer would have been nice to hang coats on. That would be what we would change.
