The rooms were located on the first floor. They were clean, the air was a bit musty (possibly due to air conditioning issues ) on entering the rooms. A little bit of air freshener and adjusting the airflow solved the problem. Breakfast was excellent, great food options. All Staff were helpful and friendly.

It is clear that they have put effort into remodeling the property recently, and everything from the lobby to the rooms looks very nice. The only reason I gave 3 stars is because the room was very musty and the AC didn't seem to ever pull that smell and humidity out.
