Sorry, but breakfast was a real disappointment. There was very little hot food for us to enjoy. I suppose the cost of food and the effort to prevent waste had let you to limit food available. It was dry. I had difficulty swallowing it. We decided not to eat breakfast at the hotel after that. We paid a lot to stay there. When I compare it to Hampton Inn breakfast, you really fell short. I just have to be honest.

Dog friendly big nice room. Location was great & walkable to restaurant In the area or downtown. Parking was across the street which was nice. You did have to pay but it was 24h in and out privileges. Breakfast was ok. The warm food was a little dry. They did have a decent amount of options & we liked that they had warm oats as an healtier option.

Solo stay

I had to change rooms because the first room had mildew in the shower and the heat was not working. The second room had a loose faucet and knobs in the bathroom sink and they had to come and fix it. Wallpaper was peeling off the walls.
