I liked the continental breakfast and the breakfast area. It was very clean, tidy and had standard breakfast options like bagels, boiled eggs, cereal, coffee and juice. The room was very tidy as well. I found the complementary shampoo, conditioner and soap to be very small portions so if there is a way to increase the size of those, I'd give it 5 stars!

Disliked: Amenities

I liked the location of this property. With it being on a busy street between a bowling alley and a car dealership, the perceived likelihood of being robbed in the parking lot was very low. I felt safe around the building. One thing I did not enjoy was that the bath tub was old, and that the hallways seemed subpar compared to the Hampton Inn & Suites or other new builds in the area. I could tell that the building was old when I stayed there, but for the price, I would stay again.
