“The restored building shows real promise, with a lobby and hallways suggesting an eye for spaciousness, though some rooms may feel less generous than expected. It appears maintenance inconsistencies can affect the experience, from the condition of beds and linens to functional amenities such as reliable internet. While off-site parking is readily available, improvements to room upkeep could elevate its potential.”
