Under renovations / construction, which is expexted and understandable. But the work started at 7 am and was noisy. Water did not work in the shower.

Staff did not seem willing to share a lot of information. It was my first time staying at this property and do not know about all details and had to continue to ask for it. Did not feel overall welcome and informed from checking in to checking out.

frustrating
For the $$$ price this hotel asks it is very worn in and without any real "perks", like free parking (in a small college town) or a room service menu in the room. Having to call the front desk who then sent me to the website which did NOT have a menu, just a place to reserve a table, was exhausting and an enormous time soak to just order some dinner. I ended up having to go down to the bar and order since they actually had a menu. there also was no garbage can in the bathroom. Really?
