The building is undergoing renovation and lacking signs to help navigate you around the building. Floor 1 hallway was wet. The pool room was cold and hot top was taped off. Bar was the bright spot. Friendly, meal was average and watching the line dancing was fun. Wouldn’t stay again until renovation is completed
