The staff were friendly. We had a 1 queen room and it was roomy. The room was clean and the beds comfortable. It was a good location with lots of restaurants within walking distance. There was no noise from outside, so we slept well. The breakfast was your typical free breakfast: waffles, cereal, pastries, bagels, coffee, juice and boiled eggs. It was nice for the price. I deducted one star, because the refrigerator was not working. We would stay again.

This was a good place to stay as you’re traveling. An overnight, I wouldn’t stay longer. Plus, they said there was breakfast, and there wasn’t. They have a nice little nook area for breakfast, there just was no food during breakfast hours. So I had to go and buy breakfast when I got back on the road again. I make sure all my hotels serve breakfast an Expedia’s app, and they were not serving any. I guess I will be calling places to confirm this.

The bed was comfortable and price good. Dish tv worked good. BUT the many black small hairs in the sink made me wonder if the room had been clean? I don't see how one could miss that! This am, the waffle grill was heated but there was no waffle mix? Bagels and bread were in a covered container on a table vs in the display case. Sunday must be their day off.
