Upon check in we were told our room was no longer available because the hotel over sold our room type. Front desk staff did not seem interested in helping fix the situation.

Overall it is a nice facility just needs a little updating. Such as 6 chairs in the breakfast dining area need recovered or maybe a less expensive solution would be a removable cover for the back that can be laundered :) Most important to me is cleanliness which I give 5 stars. Thank you!
