Rooms that I had very spacious . One staff member went above and beyond. He should be hotel manager as he was polite and very helpful . His name was Chaz and was the vallet manager.He went above and beyond to help every guest,, he was the only one. Check in staff- no customer service skills, worried about personal phone conversations not the clients,not to mention how check in area looks like. Elevator - had to use staff elevator after waiting on one for over 40 minutes. Smell of weed in the hallway towards pool area . Pool has a sign don’t use as they are adding chemicals when in fact is not even taken care of and it’s full of leafs. I requested to cancel due to the condition of the hotel(- it is under construction and because they state that on the website they denied request, but guess what surprise I had at check out- they charged a cancellation fee for each room even tough I checked in as I didn’t have other choice. So I had to wait to get my money back 3 days. What if I didn’t have extra funds in my account to be able to wait 3 days??? This hotel has potential , maybe will be better once construction is finished and staff replaced( no safety for guests provided- light cable, wires hanging above your head when waiting for elevator- but as the checkin staff reminds the guests that it states on the website that they under construction- yes it states that but it doesn’t describe the actual facts and how unsafe this hotel is. Pictures on web are not accurate.

I have stayed here in the past and everything was great; rooms are very comfortable. However, I was notified of renovations when I booked, but was not notified of the extent until driving in/check in. No lobby, no dining on site, one elevator, no valet as before. The staff tried to accommodate, but I was not expecting the conditions based on the rate I paid. I’m sure it will be back to the norm once renovations are complete.

It was still under renovation, so that didn't have a full service. A few things though were that 1) it had strong chemical smell (maybe from the construction but not easy to put up with), 2) it didn't have own parking space (though a public parking is close by), and 3) it didn't provide a receipt since I booked it through the Expedia (the 3rd party).

Great stay, hotel was in the process of renovations, but the service was second to none. Rooms were clean, non smoking. Extremely nice staff. Received a text every morning to check on us. Literally asked for towels thru a text message. Loved that. In walking distance to all bars.
