"When pulling up, the paint peeling on the exterior made me wonder what I had gotten myself into. The Gentleman at the front desk was friendly and the interior was spotless. The rooms look to be in the process of being upgraded - new flooring, bathrooms looked to have new tiles, the towels and linens were great. The furniture and mini fridge were dented and in rough shape, but they worked. At about 95% complete, so the room was fabulous. Definitely will stay here again."
