Nice, but needs a little more work.

The common spaces were nicely renovated, but the parking garage was VERY rough… Broken concrete, unswept, just rough. The room was nice, but it was clear the bathrooms did not receive renovations with the rooms. Staff was super nice, they just need a little more work on the facilities.
