Property is undergoing renovations so expect noise, esp on lower levels. We were on 7th floor and the work starts at 8am. We had ADA room with odd configuration. It’s awkward to get into the bathroom with a rollator. The bathroom door is so wide that it just about touches the opposite hallway wall. Otherwise room was fine though on the small side. Staff was courteous. Very convenient location.
