Hot tub and pool were out of service during our 4 night stay. Heat in rooms was super old and malfunctioning - the thermostat on the unit kept reading a lower temp (55), so that when set to 61 (lowest it would go) it remained on constantly until it was too hot and dry. Only option was to turn it off. This happened in 2 rooms as we had them switch our first room which also had a drain issue. Would not stay here again, definitely needs to be updated and fixed.
The construction next door was very loud too - we were warned, but it was much louder than expected with the machines staged just outside the lot. Ear plugs helped, but could still hear noise with them in.

Hotel seems to be newly renovated. Rooms are nice but need hooks or towel racks in bathroom and I prefer a hand held shower option. Climate control works well and is easy to adjust. Beds, linens and pillows are wonderful. Room has microwave and fridge. Breakfast is very good, with a variety of different options each day and staff is very attentive. People enjoyed making waffles.
Location worked well for us, but it is not downtown.
The hotel itself was quiet, but there was a lot of noisy construction going on nearby during our stay, which we could watch from our window. My husband really enjoyed watching the machines and the progress. Hotel has a pool and hot tub, and a fitness room.
We would stay there again.
