Not restful due to constant noise.

The photos of the property are highly edited. While the property is in ok condition, the rooms have been remodeled but not the best condition. On the positive side, it was very clean. Unfortunately there were numerous problems. The room was tiny and didn't have a mini fridge which would be ok, but my key card didn't access the ice machine room. I went to the front desk and the employee went with me opened it with his key and asked to try mine. He was surprised mine did not work. This hotel is downtown and has no soundproofing for the rooms. In the middle of the night I was constantly awoken by people screaming and what sounded to be street racing. Due to the poor night's sleep we did not make it in time for the included breakfast so I cannot comment on that. Then the construction started. This hotel is being remodeled but it was not noted upon making a reservation. Overall, I wouldn't stay again. If you do, please do yourself a favor and bring ear plugs.
