Young man who checked us in was very nice and friendly. It had been awhile since we stayed here and did notice that room had been updated. It's a shame that some people don't take care of things. New fridge was broken inside. Blackout curtain couldn't be raised. Overall the room looks better than before.

The person at the front desk seemed annoyed to check me in. There were ants in the bathroom. No ironing board, only two hangers, only one desk chair, and an old paper towel from a previous occupant in the microwave. On a more positive note, the staff did bring me more hangers and an extra desk chair.
