Renovation not the problem
The renovation for this hotel was not our problem at all. The contractors in the hotel were very friendly and always willing to help out by escorting up the construction elevator if the other elevator was taking too long, always had a smile and very personable. 
Hotel staff was okay; not overly friendly but okay. We stayed in room 1408 June 18-23. Prior to going to the hotel I read somewhere online that the hotel offered free town car service within a 2 mile radius of the hotel; however, I asked about travel a couple of times and that was never mentioned to us. We asked for extra towels on 2 occasions (early morning) and did not receive anything until 10pm that night. 
After spending a day walking the city with my parents and my twelve year old son, we really wanted to go back to the hotel and watch a little TV to relax for the evening. However, the satellite TV would come on for 2-3 minutes and then go off for 2-3 minutes advising "no signal", so in order to watch the basketball game, we had to go to a sports bar down the road and stay out until 10:30 or 11. We are from Florida so my son really wanted to watch the game and LeBron play. 
On Friday, my son went to unplug his phone from the electrical socket. I don't know if the electrical outlets were not updated with the renovation but the metal prongs to my son's charger were held captive by the electrical outlet. When my son tried to pull his charger out he was zapped by the outlet and screamed for almost 30 minutes because of it. I spoke to the manager and he sent someone up to get the metal prongs out and while he was apologetic, he advised that he would look at the bill to see what he could do. I was not trying to profit from the experience but the least he could have done was offer a small credit for this incident as it was very traumatic for my son. 
While these were the big things that affected our trip, let me also advise that if you are used to a dresser and a coffee pot in your room, you will not find it here. Since I was staying for 5 days, I like to be able to put my clothes in a drawer and not live out of a suitcase the entire time. The hotel does offer free coffee downstairs but the hotels I have previously been in always had a pot in the room in order to avoid leaving the room.
