Fabulous stay in spite of the remodeling. The staff were so kind and accommodating. The breakfast lady was the sweetest ever!
My only complaint would be the lady who was on site early Sunday morning. She sat outside on her phone smoking a cigarette.

Hotel is aged and tired, rooms have odd smell, Caulking in bathroom is dirty. It is extremely difficult to get out onto the main road from the hotel parking lot. Parking pass required. Staff were not very warm or welcoming.
