Lobby was under construction - no prior notice, or appropriate signage indicating where to go or fair warning ahead of arrival. It was clean and friendly staff, but not exactly as pictured. This is more of a lower end spot in need of renovation.

Juan D, 1-night trip

We love to stay here for a family gathering. Our room, unfortunately, was less than Desirable. No weather stripping so the entrance was dirty. The dead tiny black nats were everywhere. We requested mopping, then an ironing board then a blow dryer. We love the Food “Hall.”
