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.
