"The reception representative was very nice. However, the hotel is being renovated so there were boxes all in the front entrance area and all along the hallway on the floor the room was on. Good signage everywhere to notify guests. Room was clean. I arrived late and it was very quiet so easy to get to sleep- no work being done that would wake one up."
