Check in was very easy and the young gentleman was a very nice, I checked in right before 11 PM. Newly renovated rooms were clean. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was good and they had real bacon :-). It did sound like something was running in the unit above me a lot of the time. The safe lock was not working. I like the Christmas decorations.

The short, front desk man was not the very personable. Idk, he may have just been having a bad day. We did not have hot water for 2 out of the 3 days that we stayed there. Upon checkout, we were told that we would receive some money back or a discount for the inconvenience. Still waiting on that. The free breakfast and the cleanliness of the rooms were definitely appreciated. However, we will not being staying here again.
