Room has been updated in the last few years but not maintained well. Room cleanliness was marginal at best. Tv worked about 50% of the time. I was there for a conference so not in my room a lot anyway. Worked for what I needed. I traveled alone. I would not have stayed there with my wife.

Checking in went really well, smooth we didn't have any issues. Through the night it was quiet and we didn't have any issues there. In the morning breakfast was very good the staff was friendly and helpful. When we were getting ready in the morning the door was opened by the staff before checkout without a knock on the door which was very unwelcomed. I was in the shower and my child was in the kitchen area and it was disturbing to have someone try to get in our room without even knocking and it was before check out time. I did not appreciate that. There was no apology there was no excuse me it was just an abruption to opening our door to come on in.
