Overall good stay. Disappointing breakfast

Only two minor “complaints” were the tvs in the room were outdated and no complimentary breakfast. $17 for a subpar meal seems a little steep. I ended up going down the street for $13 a person and received way better food.

Very nice and clean hotel

Very clean and bright hotel lobby. Room bed and AC are comfortable. Staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet or a la carte is tasty. Ample parking.The only downside is the Business Center doesn’t have any computer to print necessary documents.
