I did enjoy the complimentary happy hour. It was a relaxing experience. Breakfast had lots of choices and felt generous. The staff were polite and attentive to our needs.
Our room had a strange smell on arrival. The furnishings in the room were quite simple. I think that updating and better maintenance in the rooms would make a big difference.
