The breakfast was one of the best! Eggs, potatoes, sausage, English muffins, toast, 4 kinds of cereal, waffles, yogurts, oatmeal, muffins, juices, coffee, fruit, bananas. The rooms were clean with refrigerator and microwave. The shower was large and plenty of hot water. King bed had 5 pillows that were very comfy. All this at a most reasonable price!

The room was clean. The pillows were a bit strange, round and bulky. Breakfast was decent. The usual- scrambled eggs, sliced sausage, home fries. Bread, English muffins, waffles. There are train tracks nearby and several trains went by during the night. Great staff.
