I love that the room was very clean otherwise you get what you pay for. Bed was uncomfortable, still having back pain 2 days later. Bathroom fan loud, rusted and hanging. Breakfast is bare minimum but it can get you going.

Breakfast is “included” but includes a muffin of cereal. Not impressed from that. We had stained towels AND stained sheets, when asked for new ones the receptionist said “you will have to wait till morning” The duvet was just a thicker sheet couldn’t even stay warm with it. The toilet had poop stains from past guest therefore hadn’t been clean. Overall disgusted and wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

Clean but nonexistent breakfast.

Needs upgrading. The bed was OK but warned out. The pillows needed replacing at least 10 years ago. One of the reasons I booked this hottel is in the search they show a very lush breakfast. The breakfast they serve is virtual nonexistent. There is not even toast. And coffee is very poor. The only redeeming quality is that it is very clean and only 20 minutes from downtown.
