I had read the reviews and decided to take a chance because the rate was so favorable I could not pass it up. I was a little worried when I turned into the parking lot and saw the construction dumpsters. When I got into the lobby there were a couple of people in line in front of me, so I looked around, it looked fine to me. When I got to the front desk, a very nice young lady apologized for my having to wait. She found my reservation and asked what floor I would like to stay on. I told her to choose and she said "5th", very wise choice, Great View!!! The room was one which had just been renovated. The bathroom was very nicely done with granite and modern fixtures, new flat screen TV, Nice new bed, new furniture and the room is huge. Did I mention the view? The breakfast was great with eggs and sausage, toast, waffles and lots of other things I did not try, many choices. I was on a business trip so I did not get to explore the hotel as much as I should have, it sits right on the water and I saw many people heading out or coming back from outside and I did not hear anyone complaining. The WiFi worked great and there are a couple of computers for guest use in the lobby. Sure there are some issues which have been mentioned due to the renovation, the elevator is tore up and some areas do not yet have floor covering but what do you expect? I would guess the rates will increase once the renovation is finished. Great place, nice staff and I would recommend it to anyone.
