Beware: Lobby is under construction

The lobby was getting renovated which had we known we my not have stayed at that location. We paid $389 a night which I feel was a bit expensive for a place that was under construction. When we arrived at 3PM our room was not ready. We were told to come back in 30 mins. Since there was no lobby, we had to leave and find somewhere to wait. The person at the front desk was apologetic.
