It looks like they are working om renovations. New flooring, new fixtures, walls are clean, bathrooms are all fairly new. The bed skirt in our room needs a good washing, but otherwise it was a good place to land for the night. Well lit parking lot and easy access parking. The night attendant was super nice and checked us in quickly at 10pm.

The best that can be said is that it wasn't dirty. I asked for late checkout in order to be able to take a shower and was finally, grudgingly given an extra hour, which helped not at all. We'll give this place a pass and go back to where they value us as customers.

Pictures look great but hide the little issues. No hair dryer - missing from the wall but the bracket was still there. The space is warn out. Looks like there are long term rentals with personal items all over the place.
