The room was more than adequate with the separate living/sleeping areas. I imagine the menu was scaled back a little, but the food was delicious. The restaurant was under construction, so they served food in the lounge. The rest of the stay was more than acceptable. This should be a mainstay for every fitness center and I was surprised a hotel of this caliber did not have either. I was also a little disappointed in the fitness center in that there was no water available and no towels. It's almost like the floor isn't sloped enough to keep the water in the shower area so it drains properly. I was able to clean it up no problem, but I had to put towels on the floor the next couple of times to keep water from going everywhere. When I finished showering, there was water all over the bathroom floor, some of which ran under the door into the main part of the room where the sink/vanity was. I was in a room with a handicap accessible shower. There were a couple things that really drove this overall rating. Breakfast options were great and the chefs making the omelettes were so friendly and fun.… The one real positive was the breakfast and the staff who made the omelettes. And the AC vent for the bedroom is on the wall but only blows right on the bed. The AC worked fine in the bedroom, but air didn't flow out of the vent into the living area. And although there were plenty of lamps, and a light mirror in the bathroom, all the bulbs must be 40 watt as the room was still very dark. The lamps looked new, but they still had plugs rather than USB or USB-C outlets which seems antiquated. The bed was on the very firm side, but the pillows were nice. We kept hearing workers walkie-talkies as they walked our floor talking about room touch-ups. The rooms look to have been renovated, at least on the floor we were on. Basically it was 'sorry we have construction, but you should have known.' Perhaps she found out about the construction the way we did - upon arrival. The girl who worked the front desk was very smiley, but also rude and unapologetic about the construction. It also means that anyone off the street can walk into the hotel and with the amount of kids running unescorted from rooms to the pool, that feels very unsafe. Meaning that they construction workers keep interacting with the guests as they walk the property (and I'm not sure the construction crew is interested in being 'presentable faces' of the company they work for). The construction crew also keeps multiple doors propped open as they work.

The construction guys park all over the lot, taking up many of the closer parking spaces that should be reserved for the guests. However, whoever is running the construction crew is doing a terrible job. I doubt that it would have dissuaded us from staying. It would have been nice to know ahead of time. To begin with, when you make an online reservation, there is no mention of the construction that is going on at the property.
