| - Good reviews overall, and I wish I could rate it higher, but it was a disappointment. I stayed here even though it wasn't the cheapest, thinking I would at least have a better experience and a good night's sleep. I was wrong. When I checked in I saw signs about construction, which I wish I had known about when booking- would have gone somewhere else. The noise started at 830am, loud noise, power tools in the hallway. So, yay. I checked in at 1 so I was hoping for some peace till 9 or 10.
If that was the only issue, I would give them three stars. But: no hot water in the shower or sink at night. I would have called down, but 2am, tired, I'll shower in the morning. Nope. Leave it running, eventually it warms up a little, but forget it. The bathroom in general was very nice, big for the size of the room, and classy. If they are renovating, I'd leave the bathroom alone. The rest of the room is a bit dated, so they need the renovations. Bed was okay, but topped with a huge pillowtop mattress cover. I sunk down, but my feet were "propped up." Just weird. Microwave was the old "bells and knobs" type. Haven't seen one of those in about a decade. The HVAC was by the window, and also seemed old, but worked well.
Went down for breakfast. Oh, by the way, the elevator makes loud, odd noises, every time, a little unsettling. The breakfast was... okay. I expected much more at this price point. A very minimal spread, though the two, count 'em, two hot items were pretty tasty- sausage and a cheese omelet.
At $100, I could tolerate most of this, and say to myself "you get what you pay for." At $150, I was disappointed. And tired. Maybe after the renovation is done it will be better, and more quiet.
