Would not stay here again

The whole hotel was under construction. Dust every where. There wasn't even a number on the outside of our door to find our room. We walked up and down the hall 2 times to find our room. They cut the water off to the whole hotel in the middle of the day without any warning. None of the lights were plugged in so when you walked in everything was dark and you had to plug it in your self. The water would never get hot in the shower. You also could not pull up to the door to unload your bags because of construction.

Would not recommend.

It was not mentioned before arrival that the hotel was undergoing construction. I was charged a service fee upon checkin that was not mentioned. The rooms were not cleaned, the floors were so dirty you could see dirt and debris on them, the bathroom was not clean, there was hair in the shower, looked like soap dried to the tub, could see the dirt on the walls in the shower. The water either took 15 minutes to heat up, was scalding hot or iced cold, or didn’t get hot at all. At one point they turned the water off without any warning, to work on something. Looked like the room had started to be updated with partial fresh paint but not completed. Sheer curtains with lights from outside shining in, but could close the thicker curtains to block the light. Flooring in elevator was coming up and looked like it had been attempted to be taped down. Had to use the outlet behind my bed to charge my electronics and saw drywall dust or something on the floors. The bedding had stains on them and was questionable if they were cleaned. Construction stuff every where. When we got breakfast the bagels were hard as a rock, the orange juice came out thick like a smoothie… ended up not trying anything else there. Did not look like the photos in the description.
There were more hairs around and in the tub
Not sure if it’s paint or dirt or what

This hotel is undergoing major renovations. The room was fine and clean, but older. The lobby ad downstairs smelled like major chemicals and/or bleach killed mold. The smell was tough. The hotel will probably be great once everything is done.
