"Breakfast is great here! Love that there's a kitchen in the rooms, and a ceiling fan, which is a game changer in a hotel stay. I've had a few good stays here but I was on a different floor this last time and the room wasn't as maintained, some things were visibly broken and the remote for the TV was missing. they had no way to get another remote when I asked about it, so the TV was unusable the whole stay. That was a first, hopefully won't happen again! Would still stay again, maybe just not on that floor again, ha."
