The property was absolutely HORRIBLE. When i pulled up ut had the strongest odor of marijuana. It definitely is a very old building. The staff were not helpful. The said breakfast was included. The breakfast consists of toast, bagels and cold cereal, on the 1st morning there was orange juice and apple juice, on my 2nd morning the machine was only filled with water. I checked out and found a comparable price at a nearby hotel, that even had a CLEAN pool and also a hot tub. It was a horrible experience even tho it sounded goid on line.
