I was the only one in my family who ate the boiled eggs, and I had diarrhea all day. In the parking lot, the sidewall of my tire was punctured by a nail, and I spent $485 to replace it with a new tire. When I arrived, the tire pressure warning light was not on. After parking overnight, the tire pressure light came on when I was about to leave, so I checked the tire and found the nail.

Breakfast options were pretty much non-existent. Same old routine stuff yougurt, baget, cream cheese and juice. Usually, we expect some savories for a complete breakfast, but Hilton and Spark are totally on a cost cutting spree. Otherwise, the location and comfort was good.

I asked for the rollaway bed at this location that was pretty bad. I can feel all the springs and was hurting real bad. That bed was not at all usable.
