Although we have always enjoyed this hotel, this trip was problematic due to construction. We were staying four nights, but the lobby was not available due to the construction. It was not pleasant! When I booked the reservation, the clerk told me that some rooms would be under construction. I would not have stayed there had I known.

Good rate but web site never mentioned remodeling. Contractors arrived early right outside. Room was shabby. Tvs were terrible. Shower had no hand-holds.
