Staff was fine. Calling this a hotel is a real stretch as it is really a motel. Room didn't have a bureau or any place to store clothing. Closet had the rod halfway down so everything that was hanging was hitting the floor. Chair in the room sounded like it was going to break whenever we sat in it. Almost no plugs to recharge things. Breakfast options were pretty awful. Basically, cereal, breads to be toasted, very limited other options. Overall it's just a room with a bed, which was comfortable.
