Nice location, spacious but TV access and mattress could be improved.
Pros:

Nicely located with free parking. The room we stayed was spacious with a fully functional kitchen.

Cons:

The room had an old building smell. The king size mattress may have been nice years ago but we both felt it was lumpy and did not feel rested in the morning.
There was also no access to local and free TV network without having a dish satellite connection or app accounts which seems ridiculous when there appeared to be no issues with the lobby TV connection.

Pros:

Updates completed are nice, but stil needs a bit more work. Faucet in our room was plumbed backwards, hairdryer blew cold air only, shower door needs deep cleaning due to mildew on caulking, and toilet needs work to fully flush. TV is tiny and the dish network has spotty service. However. Great location close to the beach and a nice walk to all the shops and restaurants on State St.
