Great staff. Helpful and pleasant. Clean facilities. Quiet room. Convenient location. The breakfast was lackluster. Yogurt machine was "out of order" our entire stay. Only prepackaged breakfast sandwiches (no scramble eggs and bacon) as advertised.

Property is good. Staff is great! However, breakfast items are horrible. No hot breakfast, no eggs, coffee was terrible. Elevator is super slow. They don’t offer any water, neither was any drinkable water in the room. Super tiny fridge in the room.
