Great location and clean, refreshed room. There was a lot of construction going on (no elevator, lobby closed, downsized breakfast, workers everywhere). Once complete it will be nice, but it was surprising there were no advisories when booking the hotel considering there are no rooms on the ground level and no elevator access for a month.
