Front desk and area look nice and clean. Front desk folks were nice. Room 143 in the back was an old looking dated room. The bedding for one of the beds was noticeably not changed. Unfortunately for us we arrived after midnight from our flight and we only needed the room til sunrise when we could hit the road. Will not be returning.
