First of all, they had our reservation dates wrong. There was a vacancy which we did take. The room was very compact but clean. The AC unit was terribly noisy which made sleeping very difficult. There was no way to contact the desk since the clerk was on video. The breakfast buffet was very slim, and the room was extremely hot. I would suggest opening the room and get the AC turned on earlier or leave it on when the weather temperature is in the 90's. There was an actual person taking care of the breakfast area, he was courteous. All in all, I was not impressed and would not recommend the place to anyone.

The breakfast provided was poor, with very limited options. There was cold cereal- no milk for two days. Waffles- no butter, and an empty syrup container. Most days I didn’t eat there.

The room was clean and we did check for signs of bugs, well, because. Furnishings were as expected for a budget level hotel. The "just ok" comes from ridiculously weak water pressure in the shower and the faucet was very obviously clogged somewhere and had two random dribbling streams of water going in different directions. Neither of which was down. Also, there was no attendant in person. Just a kiosk with a person on the other end. Checking in went smooth enough, just not something I had come across before.
