This is not made to be a fancy place. It's made to be a cost efficient, clean, safe, friendly place to lay your head at night and start your next day. This is what it is too! The rooms are clean and quiet. The people working are friendly and helpful. As far as breakfast being basic.... I really don't know what yall are expecting. They have sausages and oatmeal and cereals and a local organic yogurt with all the things to make a parfait, waffle maker, boiled eggs, coffee with all the stuffs, and fresh fruit and even toast.... What are yall wanting them to have so that it isn't basic as you say? This place is only basic if you are Richie Rich and only ever have been catered to constantly. It doesn't cost a lot, is clean, safe, and serves up a great free breakfast. Thank you! I'll be back!
