Woken up at 5am by construction

We were on the top floor (4th) of this quaint older hotel. It was a walk-up but we don’t mind a little effort. Room was spacious, espressos machine within arms reach of the bed, fairly filthy carpet but clean marble bathroom. We would have given this place a 4 bone review. However, 2nd morning of our stay I began hearing odd noises in the middle of the night and by 5am I was nudging my husband awake because it sound like a wrecking ball was hitting the hotel roof with us right under it. I can’t tell you how chilling it is to find out that yes indeed you are waking up in a building that is getting demo’d. Fun times. No one in the lobby, no other souls around, we managed to locate the back door and get out. Hotel management was across the street in another building. They assured me they’d comp the room and did not follow through. By the time the valet brought us our car they had shut down the crane down, I’m guessing other guests were in the building too.
