On the website it said for $76 a night and you guys charged me 100. I think that was a little outrageous for your property and your hotel stay. On the website is it Continental breakfast and we did not get that so we got ripped off.

Good value. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The breakfast was gone by 6:30 am. It was either eaten by hungry travelers or stolen by a homeless person. There were only like 7 other people there and no one was up when I was leaving. The front desk is not staffed
