The pictures online are not the same as when you are actually there. The rooms are out dated. The bed sheets had yellow stain and cigarette burns. The pillows were flat. The shower curtain was fabric and bottom of it was yellow. The continental breakfast was almost non exsisting. There was a mini fridge was frozen croissants. And a few boxes of cereal. There was a container with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. The juice machine had fruit flies all over it. We decided to have breakfast at the Waffle House everyday instead. Would not stay there again.
