It was a pleasant surprise.
I booked my room because the location was central to places I need to go and because it was inexpensive. I had low expectations.
My wife scolded me because she saw the picture of the exterior and assumed the worst.
When I got there, the checkin was very, very quick, and then I had the key to my room. Then it happened.
When I opened the door to my room, I was amazed that it had been recently renovated. Not only that, but the reno had been well done. It looked great and it was very clean.
I would have preferred a few more amenities. Things like a closet. Or a dresser. Or some place to put my clothes. Perhaps a desk, in case I wanted to do some work.
The room had none of these, but it did not matter much because I spent very little time in it. I only wanted a clean, comfortable, place to sleep. And that is what I got.
