The breakfast was better than most similar options. They had hot food (scrambled eggs, cheesy omelet, sausage links or patties. If not for anything else, the breakfast and per friendliness are considerable factors to choose this spot.

The hotel was outdated and dirty. Sticky floors, stained bedding and multiple places smelled like urine. The staff did the best they could to help, but the whole place needs a major renovation. At least the staff was nice though.
