The lobby and room were clean and appeared to be recently updated in comparison to the outside appearance. Front desk staff wasn't overly attentive or inviting. Lots of options for breakfast and was easy to grab and go.

The staff was incredibly nice and welcoming. The room was huge and the bed was so comfortable! It still felt a little outdated and the AC was off in our room when we checked in which was a bummer.
