adequate stay, lacking refinement

loud music dated colors
the lobby music was rather loud. high ceilings amplified it making a relaxing conversation difficult. the color scheme throughout felt dated. dark colors dominated the lobby, hallways, and even guest rooms. i stayed in 2024 and would have expected a more modern touch.
