Recently renovated, spotlessly clean, and surprisingly well-designed — outlets and room layout are thoughtfully done. The PTAC unit works perfectly, which matters when it’s cold outside. Staff are genuine and friendly without any pretense. Free breakfast is decent. Giving it a five star that it deserves
