Quick Stay

The room was exceptionally clean and newly renovated. However, we encountered a minor inconvenience: breakfast ended at 9 am, which was too late for us after a long night of driving. I had hoped to get my toddler some apple juice and dry cereal for the road.

The breakfast was not completely self serve. The eggs, sausage, ham, waffles, milk and other items were served behind a counter. Biscuit was hard and dried out. If i was serving myself, would have chosen another, but was awkward. Did not feel free to ask for seconds which are available at mist hotels. Pais total of $167 after tax tor single room. Will not use best western again.
