I was not informed of ongoing construction at this hotel at the time of reservation. My family and I were there for a military funeral, and the incessant noise did not help us to relax. Upon check-in, we were given keys to a room which had not had maid service.
This hotel made me feel secure: In a seedy neighborhood, there were quite a few employees outside the hotel in the evenings while waiting for cabs, etc. Also, the shuttle to and from the metro was nice.
