Didn’t get the room I had reserved and was promised a change but this wasnt fulfilled. Decided not to make a follow-up to test if they would do it. They didn’t. There was construction in the property making it very noisy during the day. It was an inconvenience.

Run of the mill business hotel

Pretty good place and no complaints other than a request to have two rooms on the same floor was not addressed (starts dates a day off). Had made the request a while back and then again at check in. We saw other rooms be turned around on our floor but our elderly parents who checked in a day later still be on a different floor. I understand being fully booked, but there was absolutely no accommodation from the hotel.
