The hotel was clean and good for one night. They are in the middle of renovation so it was a little lacking. Once the renovation is completed I am sure the hotel will be even better

Decent room, decently clean. Difficult to review because they were in the middle of renovation (& construction work) during our stay. Not as nice as I'd expected but maybe it'll improve with the reno. Front desk staff was the friendliest guy I've encountered at a hotel desk, excellent service.

Desk staff was friendly and attentive. The hotel is currently undergoing renovations and hopefully the room I stayed in is still on the list for updates. Everything was clean and neat but the room finishes (baseboards, paint covered outlets, worn curtains, etc) made the room look a little sloppy. Pets are allowed in the rooms but I could hear a dog from the next room whining and barking until late in the night, it broke my heart. All of the room and hotel amenities were well kept and in working order.

The only problem I had was if I didn't put the bolt on the door wouldn't stay shut or locked when in the room and I had to pull it closed when leaving problem to make sure it shut..They also said free breakfast on the page I booked from but they just had coffee. Also it was a little confusing that another hotele is almsot connected to the property. I always felt like I was entering the wrong hotel.
