Room was large but renos were done poorly. But if you’re looking for a cheap, clean place to stay this is it. Breakfast was simple but good enough with eggs, bacon, sausages, hash browns, a variety juices, coffee, teas, milk, cereal.

They advertise for complimentary hot breakfast buffet but they did NOT provide a hot breakfast because i was the only person staying there. At least give a gift card for a restaurant nearby in these cases. Remove that off the amenities.
