not bad! perfect for what we were looking far
We got one of the more recently updated rooms, which was perfect for what we needed! Everything was really good for the price, however, the seals on the doors/windows are non-existent. expect to hear everything outside from a sneeze to a car driving by.
also they are currently under construction which was not advertised anywhere but the fine print on hotels.com so no pool as advertised :/

The staff was great. The room was clean. It was just very small for the price. It was very convenient to everything so you can walk or bike to all the stuff easily. I would recommend it, but i believe its much cheaper during the week.
