Ongoing renovations should be noted on this website for location. Having workmen on scaffolding outside your second-floor window at 7 am is early for someone on vacation.

When we went to check in, e were told that our reservation had been cancelled at 3 that afternoon. We did not cancel our reservation. They had no more rooms available that night so we were stranded.
Someone needs to be accountable for this.

remodeling happens
We got there and found out the hotel use under major remodeling. Lobby hallways had sheetrock and light dust throughout. Not a deal breaker because it is an improvement. Just unfortunate. very friendly staff and very comfortable beds. Also, very windy day and there was a howling through our window possibly part of the remodel.
