Most of reviews here are well over a year old, and after a pleasant stay here very recently I felt compelled to write an up-to-date review. Yes, I have stayed here twice before and I remember how dingy it used to be - but this is no longer the case. They have put in new carpets in the rooms and the hallways, and the room and bathroom are decked out with new wallpapers, marble countertops, and tasteful furniture/linens. The fitness center has newer, higher-end machines, and the pool area was completely deserted (perhaps because I stayed on a Thursday night and not over the weekend). The only thing I can agree with the previous reviewers is that the walls still seem to be a little thin, but luckily my neighbors were considerate of others and were not loud at all. The only way I could tell they were thin was because I could hear it every time someone flushed the toilet. I think the hotel now deserves the 3.5-star rating and I would definitely stay here again.
