Nice place to stay, recently updated room that was huge. Bathroom was also big but lacked place to hang your towel near the shower or a shelf in the shower to hold your soap, shampoo or conditioner. Just needs some finishing touches but would stay here again.

The only addition I would say to this hotel was adding hot water to the breakfast bar for the oatmeal because the oatmeal and those little Styrofoam containers melted in the microwave and hot water for hot tea
