I received a message from Expedia and the hotel that the construction would be completed by mid December. I stayed in February and the pool was still closed. There were construction workers in the hallways all day till 7 pm. They had no respect for the people staying there. The hallways all stunk of acetone, total waste of money.

I was aware they’re in the process of refurbishing rooms but was told it would not run past 5 pm. Last night they finished up at 6:20. Also, the vent in the bathroom was full of dust. Nasty for a refurbished room. 🙄
