An important improvement are the bath towels.

The room was clean and the check in very pleasant. My only complaint is there were only 2 very small bath towels and I hand cloth for two people. The towels were clean, but bigger better towels are a small expensive to make a room feel more luxurious than it is. The room had hard surface floors which I like, because you can not shampoo carpet after each guest, but you can mop a floor.

Hotel is near many dining places, shopping marketplaces and very close to other activities. The building is old however my room was clean, the AC unit worked fine and everything was pleasant. The only complaint or thing I struggled with was the parking lot, not to many spaces and very clustered. Other than that my I am happy with my stay.
