The advertised breakfast amounts to just cereal and toast. The few pastries there were for picked over right away. Wouldn't have been a big issue but the hotel has no other options reasonably close.

Nice place to stay

Our stay was very nice. The hotel is clean and all the staff were very friendly. The beds are comfortable. My only complaint was that it is so small the front desk people have other duties, so we had to wait a little bit to check in and out. But, that was no big deal. The hotel met our basic needs - a clean place to sleep and shower. It's a nice place.

We had originally two different stays, but ended up extending our stay to be one long stay, it was very easy to do! However, the hotel keys kept not working because we would put them by our phones or in our wallets. This was frustrating.
