Hotel is clean, although they were having issues with the elevators and you need to call the front desk to have someone come and operate the elevator. Our room was ok although the drains were very slow in draining so you are standing ankle deep in water after you stop your shower. Breakfast is great, good parking. Staff is very nice.
