I liked that compare to most; it was clean and convinient for last minute. They just need to mop the rooms as part of the cleanning.House keepers are really nice and there is always people working on the property, whether it was cleanning for fixing stuff. I didn't like when I made the reservation through Travelocity I was offered a different deal that what the Hotel themselves did not had the same deal. So it was frustrating to make a reservation with certain amount of money and then you go to the hotel and they tell you that you have to pay the whole stay amount upfront plus a $150 dollars deposit fee up front. When I made the reservation it was a total of $895 and when I went to check in I ended up paying close to $1,500. It was dissapointing.

The room was newly renovated - spacious and sparkling clean. The main downfall is the traffic noise. The location is right on a busy road and seemed very loud. I slept poorly; my husband did not sleep well. There is still some roof work going on. That was not really an issue. The desk person was appropriately professional and polite.
