Hotel breakfast was good for the value.

While some parts of the room are updated like the bed, carpet, & tv, much of the room is showing its wear.

Great Price and Value.

10.0

Staff and accommodations were five star. Great customer service skills.

The handicapped parking spot was several spaces from the door. Regular spots were right by the door. Also,there is a curb at the door which made it difficult, for the handicapped to step up rather than a gradual riser. This also made the luggage rack hard to lift up/down/hard to return. Thanks.
