Not much offered for breakfast. Make your own waffles available but not my thing. At night trains went by several times overnight. I am a light sleeper. Dead big bug on bathroom floor. Nice shower with hot water and good pressure. Good lights in room. Safe, handy parking. Staff friendly and efficient.
