The room lacked basic amenities staff was friendly. Breakfast options were very limited with no fresh options at all.
Hotel Staff did amazing even though they were short staffed they accommodated well. Breakfast area was clean. The room was excellent although it stayed pretty warm for our comfort level and we had some box elder bugs in the room.
Staff was friendly and helpful and accommodating. Slightly dated but very clean and had all the modern conveniences. Breakfast was very light, cereals hard boiled eggs, bagels and toast. Cup style oatmeal’s.
Over all good place . I would stay here again .
