Under renovation!

Great, personable service. I am looking forward to staying again after the renovation. My only complaint is that Hotels.com did not mention that the hotel is under major renovation. They have done a great job adapting to meet guests’ needs during the upheaval. It just would have been nice to know when I booked.
