It was a good stay.
Pros:

We stayed here on our way through town. It was a good stopping point. Hotel was quiet and comfortable.

Cons:

There were no sheets, blankets and pillows for the sofa bed in the room. When we asked the front desk, they were not able to provide pillows. There was a lot of construction in the parking lot which made it hard to navigate.

Pros:

Used this hotel many times, it's nice and well maintained

Cons:

Every other TV in the rooms is always disconnected. I've had 3 different reservations over the last two months for work here and almost every time, the TVs are disconnected and non functional and no one seems willing or able to fix them
