Nice despite renovation

Room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Looks like the hotel is going through a renovation, so some areas were a bit dirty/dusty and the common areas were warm. The hot tub was also out of order, which was fine, but having caution tape was a little disconcerting. Location was great for what we needed, but there was some traffic noise. Parking lot is cramped due to construction materials. Staff was nice, and breakfast was hot.

The front desk was very nice and our request were completed each day. But the only thing we hated was our request to be away from the elevator wasn't done. We were the first room when you get off the evevator. We heard every person that got off morning to midnight.

We were not impressed with the breakfast. We had a very warm room when we arrived and had to get management involved. They did “reset” the ac and it worked fine the remainder of the stay.

The hotel itself was nice, the area it is located is not. Even though it’s a short walk to the River Walk, didn’t feel safe doing it. No restaurants around.
