I followed some reviews that said it was really clean, and we weren't disappointed. For being a Super 8, it was a pleasant surprise that it was so clean and freshened up on the inside. The outside still doesn't look like much, but don't let that fool you. The new owner is doing a great job on refinishing, freshening, and updating the insides. I mentioned one minor issue to the front desk clerk, and she was quick to take note of something that needed to be addressed. And the price was great, too!!
