Nice hotel, but needs some updating.

The room was spacious but in neèd of some updating. For example, the furnishings were showing wear. Some expected items for a hotel stay were not in the room, for example, bathroom tissue. Also, some maintenance items were completed at a subaverage level; ie, bathroom caulking. Parking and overall facility were fine.

Good value solid option for work and business trip

This is a solid option for a business trip in the area. Be sure to request drinking water at front desk, as area tap water isn't drinkable. Room and bed was clean and comfortable. Staff was courteous.
