Clean rooms, spacious, comfortable beds. Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast horrible. Spongy eggs, watery oatmeal and FAKE bacon? That is a first - the bacon was inedible. The coffee was also watered down and no flavor. Had to go to Starbucks down the road. Fix the breakfast and this hotel would be great.
