The staff was very courteous and friendly. I'm a former hotel owner so I'm critical. The property could use some upgrading. The furniture is pretty sad and decor is bland and plain. We thought there would be a sofa in our king room but there was only one chair. Not adequate for couples. Bed was very hard.
