8/10 Good
"The hotel was nice. The lobby was updated and had comfortable seating around the bar. The rooms and hallways looked really tired and soon need updating. The hotel was located in a good area, and the staff were friendly but service could be more on par. There were times you were left waiting to order or be checked on specifically having a drink at the bar. Overall it was a good stay."
