Under construction

Entrance was blocked by plastic sheeting with no directions how to get to check in. After entering a side door the building looked abandoned . After walking down two flights of stairs and a long hall I finally found the registration. We were given a room on the 2nd floor at the end of the hall with no elevator. The room had construction going on outside on two sides of our room. Fortunately it was close to their quitting time but early the next morning we were awakened by worker singing, drills and plywood being thrown. On check out I did suggest they not place guest in that room.
