Good hotel

New hotel and very nice. Breakfast is OK - had expected better. I stayed because the rate that night was comparable to the area that night, but this isn’t always the case.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was fine, but i noticed what appeared to be dried blood spots on the chair and stool.... after that i was skeptical of cleanliness. Thankfully my stay was short. I was sad to see the pool didnt have a hot tub. Otherwise staff was nice enough and lobby area is very clean.
