"I wasn't aware that the hotel was under renovation; I arrived at 3 AM, and it wasn't easy to find the entry. There was no one at the front desk, so I had to wait for someone to get there. Hammering and drilling noise woke me up when I was trying to rest. Breakfast was a refrigerated sausage biscuit I had to heat up.2019-08-06 "
