Checkin was easy. The room had been updated. I'm certain the floors don't get washed often as I spilled a bit of water and the white paper towel I used to wipe it up was dirty. The coffee machine and coffee needs an upgrade. The cord on the machine was not long enough to be plugged in. Had to sit it on a chair to reach the power bar. I checked out and was in a hurry to play golf and left a nearly full bottle of Wente Morning Fog in the fridge. Called within five minutes and left a VM to explain I would pick it up on my way home after golf and to aknowlege my VM. No response and when I stopped in they had dumped it. So no rave reviews from me.

It wasnt horrible but when we arrived ashtrays outside where overflowing. Our bathroom looked newer but had black stuff at the bottom of the shower. There was also a funny but not terrible smell when you first open the door. Needs some airing out.

The room was clean and newly renovated. The bathroom was amazing! Rain showerhead and 2 other massaging heads. Very neat mirror where you could change the lighting with a tap. Bed was a little too firm, would have liked an extra pillow.
