Wow! The renovations and changes to the hotel are stunningly spectacular! The room upgrades are perfect. Big king bed nice decor comfortable and quiet for our stay. Breakfast was also a positive shift from what it used to be when this site used to be a different Hotel. Hot breakfast with a variety of items was very welcome and helped us to save a lot of time in the morning. It was also helpful to have a sports bar next door because we didn't have to go hunting for a late night place to eat when we came in. This is always a good hotel even under previous branding. Now it's a great Hotel!
