Room for improvement

It would have been helpful if there was clear signage about where to park due to the repaving and parking lot closure. The back parking lot seemed sketchy due to the many folks around the property doing heavy drugs and sleeping in vehicles. My room lacked a number by the door causing confusion. The hallway noise was loud as if my door were open which was unsettling. The flood light 10 feet from my window was directed to my room. The window shade was effective except for the bottom part which allowed a stream of light all night. Otherwise it was fine.

It was nice

The hotel appears to be going through an upgrade/remodel. Feels way cleaner then what it was before. Front desk staff were great! It seemed like room service came in to give fresh towels but didn't really do anything else with the room.
