Interior newly renovated - very clean!

The interior is brand new and very clean! New carpet. I really liked the new furniture and the linens were very clean and comfortable. I appreciated the Dove products and extra items that might have been forgotten were readily available. Very comfortable stay.

I received a message from Expedia and the hotel that the construction would be completed by mid December. I stayed in February and the pool was still closed. There were construction workers in the hallways all day till 7 pm. They had no respect for the people staying there. The hallways all stunk of acetone, total waste of money.
