I work in construction and I absolutely hate when remodeling affects the user. The hotel had opted to use the stairwell next to our room as their "workzone" for their Reno project. Our room smelled of paint and stain and they were at work bright and early with no regard, at least it appeared, to the fact that there were guests.
All that sounds awful, and it did not increase the pleasure of the stay, but the room was clean and functioned as expected.
