The hotel itself is great. They are, however, currently under construction. There is not currently a pool. Our room was adjacent to the construction so there was some noice and the view was a dirt hole. Other than that, the rooms were clean and comfortable. The location is great. We would definitely stay here again.

Expedia did not inform me that the hotel was under construction. The view from my room was of several piles of dirt and the whole area being dug up for a pool. I was not informed that there was no pool available and no breakfast room because that was also under construction. There were plenty of rooms available on the other side to put me instead of putting me with the piles of dirt. There are no microwave in the rooms at all anymore. I will say the room was very clean and very comfortable. I would not recommend a stay here until the construction is done.
