The breakfast was lacking. It could use a bit more to choose from. I didn't see the pool since I only stayed there for one night. The room looked like it had been updated, and I could smell fresh paint. I had a very good stay.

There is a space between the door and the floor so you can hear everything on the in the hallway and if you swing your foot to hit the bed, there’s some metal aluminum frame makes us loud awful sound. I’ve never seen that before in a hotel they can’t put a regular bedframe.

The room itself was updated and clean. The staff were nice. The outside of building could use some sprucing up. There was some sketchy people in parking lot all night and didn't feel the safest. Breakfast was not great. Coffee and prepackaged muffins.
