They were doing some remodeling mainly in the breakfast area. Seems like they were spending a good amount on updating the hotel. Room was very nice - I always appreciate a hotel room with a walk-in shower. Between the condition of the room, the remodel work, and the person working on landscaping outside I was left with the impression that the hotel is well maintained.
