Last minute stay/Great breakfast situation

Front desk very helpful. Breakfast staff was amazing - they were set up early and allowed us to start which helped get us on the road sooner. The only downside was the trash bins out front were beyond overfilled.

there for my mothers funeral. pleased with cleanliness - interesting have been at other hotels including holiday Inn that were not well maintained so i deduce that it depends on who owns the franchise that makes the difference. this was nice especially for why we were in Lancaster.
