This property is under total construction, only one floor was open. They do not disclose this anywhere online. We thought the property was close when we arrived. Construction works and vehicles everywhere. Dust, noise aweful experience. And they would do nothing to compensate us for this disastrous stay!

Don't go until it's finished

This is the fourth time we're staying at this location. The first three times were exceptional. This time we should've been notified that the entire hotel was under construction and that there would be people drilling and banging the entire day. we specifically chose that location because of the abundant breakfast buffet and the cleanliness of the dining area which this time was nonexistent there was no lobby nowhere to sit even in the room to have breakfast since they were three of us very disappointed we've been members for over 20 years and never had an experience like this very unsettling

Our room was on one of the renovated floors and was excellent in every respect. We recognized that the similar renovations were going on on other floors but we were willing to pardon the dust as we entered the facility and in the elevators. We were aware that one day all will be finished to make for a much nicer hotel.

Renovations

The overall experience was great. The rooms were clean and accommodating. We were very disappointed however, when we arrived to find the lobby under renovation. We were told there was no sit down breakfast due to the renovation. This was not noted when I booked the room. That was one of the main reasons we selected this hotel for our trip. I feel that there should have been a mention about the renovations on the website.

False advertisement

We didn’t even stay. After being charged over $400 for one night we had a hard time navigating the parking lot due to heavy equipment. Then I walked into the lobby and it’s a literal construction zone. I don’t think this should be open to the public. This information was not conveyed to me.

When booking the room we were not alerted to the ongoing construction. The lobby was totally demoed and filthy. The elevators were in the same state - wires hanging from the ceiling. While the room was clean construction brave before 9 am and was quite disruptive. Further the water was shut off to our room without any notice whatsoever. When we called the front desk they said they were unaware of this issue but after reading other reviews this is a normal occurrence. The straw that broke the camels back was when the construction crew starting whistling and cat calling at my 16 year old daughter!!! Completely unacceptable.

This is a budget hotel with budget accommodations. The hotel is under construction, and by that I don't mean that some part of the hotel is under construction. The whole thing is actively under construction- the lobby, elevators, hallway, gym. This hotel is fine if you are just looking for shelter - a place to stay. Don't expect anything more because that is all you will receive. Our shower also completely flooded our bathroom with each use. It is the cheapest hotel around for a reason. You get what you pay for.

It would’ve been nice to be notified that this property was under EXTREME renovations prior to coming. Our rooms looked like they were “renovated” but the shower door in my room didn’t close, there was a massive space between the floor and the door leading to the hallway that if someone laid on the floor they could look out into the hall. The bed frames had no stoppers for the mattress so the mattress was slipping off the base of the bed frame. Random pieces of wet cardboard and nails on the floor, one of my guests almost slipped and fell on a wet piece of cardboard coming out of the elevator. Overall super disappointed and pretty shocked you are charging guests regular price to stay at this hotel. Would’ve appreciated some type of discount.
