8/10 Good
"I spent three nights here on a business trip in the area. The hotel is remodeling some of it's entrance inside but seem to keep the mess fairly well maintained. The room was clean and well apportioned. The shower enclosure leaked and left a puddle on the floor. It has been going on for some time as there was rot on the door jam. The restaurant was closed and I didn't find out if that was part of the renovation or permanent. The Bar was serving breakfast but it was sub-par and not worth the time. Personnel were polite and helpful."
