Staff attended to a broken blind as quickly as they could. Great renovations -- I stayed in this building before renovations and said I would never again. Glad I gave it another try.

The new modern updates were great but the hotels description said the place was pretty soundproof. This is not true as you can hear almost everything. I could hear full conversations from people in the hallway and the room next door. The person next door had a bunch of "fun" with someone they brought to the room which lasted until 1am. I had to sleep with noise canceling headphones. The staff was great and friendly but walls are thin

Didn't have a room with a kitchen. Room/property was nicely updated/renovated. Room was a bit small, nice bed, great shower. Room doors seem light, not substantial enough for safety or noise reduction. Hallways and stairs are a bit narrow. staff was very pleasant. Parking was limited.
