8/10 Good
"There are no coffee pots or microwaves in the rooms. The automatic bathroom light is annoying in the middle of the night. There should be a way to turn it off. A fan runs all of the time in the bathroom. The room was nicely remodeled and very clean. The lobby is being remodeled so breakfast is pretty on existent."
