The room was large, clean and had extra chairs. Also a kurig coffee maker which is not common. Staff was curteous. We only stayed one night so did not have the opportunity to use the hot tub or pool. While breakfast was included, it was a feozen breakfast sandwich which must be retrieved at the checkin counter. There plenty of extra snacks to choose from as well. We would stay there again

This hotel is very dated, hasn't had upgrades--scuffed walls, stained rugs, chipped furniture. For the price we expected better. (At least it didn't smell). The courtyard was nice. The breakfast is laughable!
