The properties undergoing renovation of its lobby and restaurant. The staff themselves were courteous, the area was full of cute boutiques, walking distance, lots of neighborhood restaurants, RJ gators was great for dinner. I’m glad we went, but just be aware consumer at the hotels, undergoing renovation and, it appeared the little dated. It needs a good paint job on the outside as well. We had a good time. . We were considering staying a second night, however, maybe if it was interesting condition for next time.

Even though there were renovations going on to the lobby and restaurant, the hotel was quiet. There was adequate signage to direct us to the makeshift lobby, and the employees who were manning the desk were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was large, and the shower was very nice (lots of hot water on demand). All-in-all, it was a wonderful stay.
