The room was clean and appeared to be recently updated. There were no smells and access was great. Only thing I would have liked to see was windows that opened. Otherwise was a great stay. Didn't have much interaction with staff but they were pleasant enough. The adjoining restaurant was awesome.

Our stay was nice. The room was clean. The beds were the only disappointment. They were very hard and uncomfortable. They seemed smaller than a queen.
