Felt safe enough, Coffee was not as strong as I like it, kind of weak. Breakfast was adequate. The diner down the street had better but also more expensive. Consider providing tortillas and other fixing to make a breakfast burrito.

Glad I stayed here! My room was nicely decorated & well maintained. I appreciated the microwave, mini-fridge, & small inclusions like makeup remover & earplugs. (Didn't need the earplugs, thankfully.) Breakfast buffet was good, with multiple hot items. Would stay here again.
