Merchants Square Tours

My husband and I woke up to headache inducing jackhammers pounding against the bedroom wall. The hotel’s excuse was they weren’t responsible, it was the construction next door. They did change our room to the less noisy roadside of the hotel. It’s obvious renovations were made, but now the renovations need renovating. We were billed twice for the one meal we purchased from the hotel restaurant, so check your bill. Bottom line is we paid way too much for this stay. The best feature of this hotel is its location to the capital.

**Travelers beware** Hotel is under electrical renovation since May 2026. We did not know until we walked in to see lobby floor with tile pulled up, black plastic trash bags taped up along far lobby wall, 1 elevator sometimes working, smoke alarms covered with tape, no signs for stairways, no permits posted anywhere, luggage carts being used by contractors and not available to guests. Housekeeping walked into our room without knocking. Surface parking was extremely limited due to lack of signage for parking garage. Hotel staff was less than helpful when we didn't have surface parking for our oversized vehicle. They were unable to provide any suggestions or solutions. I could go on and on. We were booked for two nights but checked out after one. Only reason we stayed one night was that it was too late at night to switch hotels. Hoping to save others from the unexpected stress we had to deal with on our vacation.
