Decent place for an overnight stay
Pros:

Our bathroom fan didn’t work. The outlets are all too loose and the blow dryer I brought wouldn’t stay plugged in and the overall appearance of the bathroom was not good. Looks like they half way repainted it or update it and a better job should have been done. Beds were comfortable at least

Cons:

Loose outlets, cheap renovation of the bathroom
