The hotel was very busy and only one elevator worked. There were stains on the mattress pad visible under the thin sheets. The breakfast was minimal. The parking situation was not explained well ($20/night) Place has potential to be much better

The room was ok, pretty basic, but the A/C did not work - it was 78° in the room, and the bathroom sink drain was stopped up with hair that had never been cleaned. The staff was friendly enough and the breakfast was about what you would expect.
