Knock knock, we're destroying your room.

Well, if you're looking for a bed and a bath, that's about it. If you like to wake up to construction drills, fire alarms and even the Kenner Fire Department in the parking lot, then this hotel is for you. I wish I was sarcastic, but I am not. This all happened on our first day at the hotel. We were under the impression that this hotel was completely renovated in Feb 2005 (as a Radisson), but it was not. In fact, all signs at hotel had the word "February" whited out. We even had to call security just to get a bucket of ice! We were placed in a room that was in the construction zone, and was not moved to the renovated rooms until the 4th day of our 4 days there (even though renovated rooms were available the whole time we were there). Staff did not warn us that liquidators were going to knock on our "do not disturb" door and destroy the room. We had to move out with no notice. No movies or TV features other than basic cable. Staff was friendly, but just shrugged shoulders when we had complaints. Pool was extremely nice, but too cold to visit. I'm sure the new Radisson will be spectacular because the renovated room was LUXURY, but CALL before booking to make sure ALL construction is completed.
