The room was quite cold despite the thermostat being set at 84 degrees. We didn’t complain as we arrived quite late and went to Ed under a comforter. Later learned that if we had complained we would have gotten portable heaters or a move to another room. We thought it would warm up, but didn’t get warmer than 55-60 degrees. Fine outside of that. A bitter cold night. Zero degrees.

The room was clean with a nice king bed and a (too) warm heater that I had to reduce the thermostat setting on when it as 25 degrees F outside. Bathroom was nice and clean with a shower stall with a curtain. Not fancy, but more than adequate at a good price. Had originally paid for parking there because I was gone for a month and didn't want to pay for high priced airport parking They have a 24 hour shuttle. Decided to rent a room as a precaution on my return due to predicted freezing rain. Also, car did not start after sitting for a month. Luckily, I took my jump start battery unit into the hotel to wam up and it jump started the car twice! The shuttle driver took the bosses' car to pick us up after the shuttle would not start! He refused a tip! Great service.

Good value. Airport shuttle operates even after midnight. Essentially a high-end value motel. Perfectly fine for business travel. Rooms feel freshly remodeled with hardwood floors and brand new bathrooms. Halls still show the buildings age, but not an issue.

Overall the stay was quiet and pleasurable. The hotel was in a state of renovation/refreshing the rooms. The rooms could have been far cleaner just needed a vacuuming and sanitation. Overall I would stay again to see if improvements were made.
