Everything is clean and new. \u00a0The fixtures, heat, etc. all work. \u00a0The Internet is solid. \u00a0(Since I had to do three hours of work from my hotel room, this was important to me.) \u00a0The staff was friendly and helpful. \u00a0In summary, I think the somewhat elevated room rates promised after the renovations are reasonable given the new quality of the rooms.<\/p>\n<p><a
