Are they also advising guests stay elsewhere?

Again, hundreds of reviews from the last several months make no mention of this. Must be planted fakes I guess.
How do you know the photo was taken during working hours? There are barely any cars on the street below, not usual daytime traffic for that area.

Once underway during the day there are teams of workers, with drills and jackhammers.

You mention reviews over the last several months, when in reality the only reviews that are applicable are the most recent, where a third or so mention the noise.

I stayed at the property and experienced the noise. In one of those rooms. That’s not a third party report.

However, I can confirm the hotel is taking note of the issue and like the report above, they have given feedback that they are either temporarily closing the rooms, and/or warning prospective upgrades, that the noise can be an issue.

That returns the choice to the guest - to either accept the upgrade, or take a quieter room. That’s the key issue… hotels should have that information available on their website at the time of booking, or in a subsequent email, to give guests the choice.
