Lobby was very nice, rooms were a little dated, but comfortable. The restaurant/"night club" was trying to hard with their dress code. I just wanted some food and didn't have a dress shirt or pants because I was on a hiking vacation. I spent the night there just to catch a plane the next day. They take themselves a little too seriously for an inexpensive hotel.
