Hotel is currently undergoing renovations on the main floor( possibly more ). A note on the elevator door stated that it was due to a mattress fire. I was on the 7th floor. My room looked clean over all but there was long hair in the shower that was hanging from a rail attached to the wall. The hotel is in a downtown location, So I heard fire trucks and emergency crews often during the evening and early morning.
