Must read review before

The hotel was being renovated and the room felt old and dirty. The halls were not worthy of being open for guests. The carpet was old and used as a construction site. Hard to believe the city would allow this. Hotels.com nor the hotel chain informed me and had to find out by showing up. Not fair to the customer.
