I have mixed feelings about this stay. The staff were genuinely kind, friendly, and helpful throughout our visit, and the location was excellent for exploring the area.
Unfortunately, the renovations had a much bigger impact on our stay than we were led to expect. Before arriving, we were informed that there would be some dust and noise from work on the ground floor. In reality, the renovations seemed to affect every floor. There was constant loud construction noise, fresh paint throughout the building, and the stairwell was often blocked, leaving us to use a very small elevator. As someone who is claustrophobic, this was difficult, and being pregnant, I was also uncomfortable with the strong smell of fresh paint.
We appreciated the advance notice, but we feel the extent of the renovations was significantly understated. Had we known how disruptive they would be, we would have chosen to stay elsewhere.
In addition, although the location was convenient, the hotel itself was quite noisy at night, with sound carrying easily through the windows and walls.
Overall, the wonderful staff were the highlight of our stay, but the ongoing renovations and noise made the experience much less enjoyable than we had anticipated.
