The rooms are very expensive for what I got. Consider renovating the room to make them cozy and brighter. The bathroom is extremely basic for the price. Consider making an investment there. Put more love in the kitchen.

Overall a pleasant experience that meets expectations. Breakfast was nothing to write home about but convenient given there isn’t anything within reasonable walking distance. No kitchen seems to be onsite so breakfast is prepared in a closet, mostly microwaved foods. The staff at the front desk were readily available to assist. The pool was nice as well, especially for this kids. This hotel is not very accessible (no elevator, no automatic doors).

The pictures make it look much nicer. It's very dated. Windows were dirty. Breakfast was a nightmare. Crowded and everyone running into each other and cutting in front of people. Hot breakfast was biscuits and gravy. No eggs except hard boiled that were peeled and put into plastic sandwich bags..kind of weird.
