Pool was out of order and building was under construction im guessing due to the multiple holes in the property, but they all looked cut out like they were in progress of an upgade perhaps? Other than that, pretty basic continental breakfast and very helpful staff.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The building smelt like cigarette smoke the minute we entered the lobby. The employee at the front desk seemed unbothered by making an effort to make us feel welcomed let alone put a smile on her face. The building is under construction, pool was closed, and the parking had 3 cars on jacks like it was also being used as a mechanic shop. We never even carried our bags in after looking at the room. We left and stayed elsewhere. Really unfortunate as I remember it being a decent place from a previous stay.
