We enjoyed our stay. The hotel was very clean, inside and out. We enjoyed the complimentary coffee and tea when we got there and when we left. The room was renovated and clean with lots of towels and it was nice there were large bottles of shampoo and conditioner. I never have enough conditioner in hotels but this one was great. There was a fridge and microwave which was convenient to reheat our pizza and left overs. All in all great stay and would recommend staying here if in the area.
