Elevator had a wonky sensor, did not work before 8am or after 9pm which made it rough on me (had a stroke and using a walker). Also, we expected breakfast and it really wasn’t. Very disappointing- I have kids and we chose the hotel for and elevator and breakfast.

We stayed here because in the past it had a great breakfast, clean room, convenient location, and friendly staff. Everything is the same and great except for the breakfast. There was oatmeal and bad fruit. That was such a disappointment because the breakfast was why we chose this location over others.
