8/10 Good
"The need for a one night stay was met by this hotel. The room was clean and there was plenty of parking. The small improvement I would request is a better breakfast selection. The main protein option were quick frozen cheese omelets to microwave. There were other continental breakfast baked goods, yogurt & waffles. We would stay here again but choose elsewhere for breakfast."
