I stayed here again last weekend, so wanted to share that good progress has been made on the construction but work is still ongoing. The work on the lobby / check-in area is complete and the new desk follows the same retro-modern design style of the updated rooms. Both elevators are operating again too, alleviating the wait times from when there was just one in operation for guests.
However, the restaurant was still closed for refurbishment, and construction noise could still be heard in the rooms during working hours.
