We received breakfast vouchers, and all they had was waffles, toast, cereal and juice. One of my family members asked the kitchen staff lady for fruit yet she never acknowledged she just looked at her in an ugly manner but shortly later brought the fruit. Dissatisfied

Great, however, the staff had not replenished the breakfast items at all. We arrived well on time for breakfast. There was barely anything. Some lady who also arrived with us, requested for the food to be replenished, but the staff didn't seem to care. Finally, after several people complained, they brought a few slices of bread and re-filled the milk. This was the worst breakfast experience.

Room smelt horrible (cigarettes) burning holes on blankets, and i reserved a non smoking room, water pressure is very low, 8 feet long pothole in parking lot, if you fall your car is gone, shady people coming in an out, someone was yelling, cussing and fighting on the hallway at 3am. People hanging around in the parking lot all night, that breakfast was the worse breakfast i’ve ever had, didn’t even finish it, bland eggs, powder orange juice and gray flavorless sausages , it was cheap and i thought it was a nicer hotel for a good deal, it wasnt, a Motel 6 would’ve been nicer provably
