The room was clean, but old. The people were wonderful. Everyone working there was really nice and helpful. The breakfast could use some protein, but what they had was good. I couldn't get any news stations on the TV, but that might have been because I'm of the older generation and can't work the equipment like the kids can. All in all, I enjoyed my stay.
