The state of the hotel is much better than when I visited in the past. I chose to give it another try after my last experience and have learned it is under new management recently and they are working hard to upgrade the building and experience during the stay. In its current state, I would never pay over $100 to stay but I hope to see the expected improvements in the future that would make it as appealing as the higher priced hotels. Staff was incredibly kind and helpful during the entire stay.
