They had the breakfast essentials, eggs and either sausage or back bacon (varied by day). Of course they had the capillary flow toxic usual carbohydrates too. The Nescafe coffee machine had a variety of brews. They had decaf coffee for a Keurig. The only thing they lacked was decaf tea.

They have pet friendly rooms. Their pet fee is $40/stay, which for a two day stay became $20/d. If it was $40 per day that would be unreasonable. One morning I saw another couple in the hall with their shih tsu. I'd never heard the other dog at all. I opened the door so our shih tsu could meet him. I suspect the rooms are well insulated so any dog barks don't bother anyone.
