The only thing that I didn't like was the entrance off the highway. It's at the base of the bridge and rather dangerous.

Under loud and massive renovation - no lobby, pool
They are undergoing massive renovation, so the whole place has tarps hanging all over it. The noise of the saws etc when you go to the main lobby is deafening. They really should not be open right now. No breakfast available because of the construction - they offered a "grab and go" which you were "free to eat in your room" Nice. Front desk was nice but the conditions were appalling. The room was perfectly fine, but the construction was pervasive.

Overall it was a good stay, the rooms were clean but they were renovating the lobby so none of the amenities were available. That was very disappointing.

I do not believe that they should be charging people full price at this moment while they are under construction. We stayed there last night there were tornado sirens going off never once where we notified from staff about our safety. The inside of our room got wet next to the window it was leaking not sure if it was from the air conditioning or if it was from the rain. Thankfully we didn't have any of our personal belongings set over there. We had a lovely view of the construction dumpsters. Only going for a day wasn't so bad. Would I stay there for more than one day and the conditions that it's at at this moment absolutely not. Maybe would come back after the construction is done to see the true potential.

Property is undergoing massive remodel. Amenities listed: pool, hot tub, gym were all unavailable. Free breakfast was also listed but the dining room was unavailable so the had a few bananas and muffins behind the front desk. Ice machine on 3 rd floor was broken and had a sign on it saying to go to lobby for ice. Basically, they charged a premium price for services that weren’t available.
