Hotel has potential. Lobby needs renovating, first floor rooms were very noisy as was parking lot. Room was nice, liked mural on wall and style of decor. bathroom needs some minor renovations in the cracks, tub edges, ceilings. Doesnt look clean or finished. Breakfast was so crowded you couldn’t move so we walked out without eating. Location is good despite the parking lot being behind a convenient store and at night you have to park around back as the lobby door is locked.

First time since new ownership. 360 degree improvement. Clean , friendly staff , rooms updated. It was really nice. Few snags but they will correct. Like ironing board , no iron , rooms without hairdryer. That being said you call the desk and they deliver to room right away.

Had a problem with the AC of the room not cooling. So we were sweaty the whole night while we are sleeping. Breakfast was supposed to be available at 6AM but they start opening at almost 8AM. You have to make your own pancake too which is why the line in the breakfast area was too long.
