8/10 Good
"The rooms are nice and mostly remodeled. At least there is no dreadful carpet in the rooms. The beds could use replacing (at least in our room). It's interesting how so many people keep their phones in their face even though they are customer service staff. I am to ask a question, it was answered by barely looking at me and keeping the phone right in front of their face. The rest of everything was quite nice. You could stream from your phone to the TV which was really nice."
