Golden Spring Hotel

I've stayed here many times over the past ten years or so, with the last visit before this one being about a year ago. As I've said before in other reviews, this is a dependable hotel, nothing flashy but well managed. This time (last weekend) I discovered a big remodeling was underway. This currently involves the lower floors, 6 through 12 is what one of the staff told me. As you might expect, this is causing noise. I stayed on the 18th floor and it was still pretty loud. One day it was still going on at about 9 p.m. at night. Was pleased to see, however, that staff still phones a little after nine asking if I would like a complimentary glass of hot milk. Very nice touch. As might be expected, occupancy has dropped off. This means the restaurants are pretty dead, even for breakfast. It's understandable that they can't lay out a big spread when they only have a few guests. I was told the remodeling would be over at the end of June or beginning of July. Better go somewhere else until then. I look forward to checking out the finished product next fall.
