Breakfast had some pretty good items; 1 lady at the front desk was friendly, the other guy was not very personable; the rooms were clean and spacious; the TV channels did not match the guide and the picture was not so great; the beds and shower were good, although the bathroom was not very well lit and the fan in there definitely needed to be replaced (VERY noisy); it was a great location and housekeeping and the breakfast ladies were very nice!
