From the outside, the place didn't look like much. In fact, it seemed a bit seedy. The parking lot was tight and difficult to get into.
Once I went into the lobby, it looked a bit shabby. There we patches on the wall. But, the lady at the check-in counter was very nice, warm and welcoming.
I got to the room and was definitely impressed. It had recently been renovated. All the furniture and fixtures had recently been replaced. The bed was comfortable. The walls had been repainted. It was clean. The room was much more than I expected and I was definitely happy with it.
So, even if it looks a bit shabby on the outside, the room made up for it, for sure.
