When breakfast is advertised to be available until 9:30, it is quite frustrating when the waffle maker isn't usable at 9 and all the food is removed from the breakfast room by 9:20. If daily house keeping isn't going to be available, rooms should have bigger trash cans - or maybe a large can could be available in the hall for guests to dump their own trash. The management smoking right outside the entrance was not particularly appreciated.

Rooms were clean, though they're starting to show their age and ours had a bit of a smell. Staff were all friendly. A great spot to stay at. Easy to find and not too busy. Also, the complimentary breakfast was one of the best we've ever had.
