We enjoyed our 4 night’s stay & was not bothered by the remodeling. Hotel location is convenient for getting around downtown. We were able to catch shows at Jazz Showcase & Goodman Theater. Shoutout to Eric & all front desk staff. They were helpful & kind. We plan stay here again for ~ 2 weeks for the holidays.
