Staff was great , plumbing for toilet and shower not draining too well, Stayed for a night, although they were going through renovations, they should have the lobby with proper air conditioning it was not cooling at all, and the temperature in the fridge was not cooling at all the yogurt,milk and creamers for breakfast definitely should be more on the colder side since it’s dairy . I stayed here a few years ago and it was a similar experience. Thought by now that would have been taken care of .

Just an older hotel. Needs a lot of upgrades. First room we went to looked like someone had broke in and flipped the mattresses. 2nd room smelled muskey and had a random 8 ft conference table in it. Just very dated. Staff was very nice
