Overall, we enjoyed our overnight stay. I was there to celebrate my recent 80th birthday.
Pros:

Breakfast was good, plenty of food and clean area. I requested a room on first floor in good location due to physical limitations of myself and my sister; they honored my request. Requested extra bath linens due to 3 women in the room, they complied. The beds were comfortable. Friendly staff at front desk.

Cons:

The toilet rocked when you used it.
No Kleenex in the bathroom. The plastic liner in the shower was thin and cheap; 2 of the hooks on it was undone, I had to fix that. There were rust spots on the ceiling in the bathroom. There were a couple of spots of spilled coffee on the tile floor near the front desk.
