They were doing some remodeling mainly in the breakfast area. Seems like they were spending a good amount on updating the hotel. Room was very nice - I always appreciate a hotel room with a walk-in shower. Between the condition of the room, the remodel work, and the person working on landscaping outside I was left with the impression that the hotel is well maintained.

The staff was nice and helpful. The pool and breakfast was bad. Pool was not avaliable and breakfast was all gone 1h befor time. And when they finally brought more out 30 minutes later everything was still frozen.(bagels, sausage) and they were out of pancake stuff.
