Good for an overnight stay
Lovely renovated hotel, very clean and comfortable. The only issues were with key cards that did not work for a number of guests, including myself. There were people also hanging out in the hallway having a conversation, and the sound really carried loudly.

Clean room but terrible customer service
The room was clean and quiet in the evening but the customer service is terrible!! Before being asked to move rooms due to renovations starting the second day of my stay, one of the cleaners walked right in my room without knocking. Then there was a charge of $44.15 places on my credit card that the manager could not locate and I have yet to hear back from them regarding if they will make it right. This was even after a follow up email. Looks like I’ll need to call their corporate office.

Not the best hotel
There is not enough help. The front desk has to do too much to stay at desk. Also the man was on cell phone talking to someone about car repairs. It seemed we were bothering him to have questions. Hotel was being remodeled but the room i had was remodeled. it was not impressive.
