Breakfast only had boiled eggs for protein. Compared to the cooked sausage and eggs we received from previous hotels. Another issue we had is that there was no trash can in the hotel room.

Breakfast was good. Room wasn’t the best. Definitely need some improvements. Room had some damp smell to it. There wasn’t enough ventilation. Bathroom fan was too loud and bathtub curtain smelled bad too. Cleanliness was 2 out of 10 for the room and we saw two big spiders as well in the room during our stay.
