I have stayed here before and it is a very nice place. Clean and nice amenities. No complaints there. However I was put it in a room where I was awakened early morning by LOUD pounding. I called the front desk and was informed that they were sheet rocking a room a few doors down for me. I asked why put us in a room if you’re having a renovations right next-door? The front desk person was rude and proceeded to say that she didn’t put us in thar room!! She offered to move us, but we only stayed one night. She did not offer anything, credit, something, even a genuine apology would have been nice! But she really didn’t seem to care. Could use some good old fashioned customer service training.
