Was a good place to stay. Clean, comfortable beds, quiet for sleep. Our room had a horrible smell. Some hotel rooms smell musty but this was beyond. There was also a loud drilling type noise behind the shower handle. It was temporary and unexplained. We didn't ask to change rooms. We were tired. So I wouldn't hold that against the rating. The staff was nice and I'm sure they'd have accommodated us.
