6/10 Good

Hotel has been refurbished, and there are a few deferred maintenance issues, but overall clean and acceptable. Kind of “bare bones”, but adequate. No sheers on windows and room was dark without window drapes open, but had good lighting which is rare! Good coffee for a change with K cups! Breakfast was minimal and not for the health conscious.

OK place to stay
Decent place and convenient. Showing its age even with renovations. Parts of the floor starting to warp. WiFi very inconsistent...not very reliable.
