Pretty minimal amenities and kind of grungy. The pool was filthy and it was unclear if the comforter on the bed had been washed. The room smelled stale. The breakfast was only coffee, cereal, milk, juice, waffles, and syrup. But the AC worked well and the staff were very kind and accommodating.

Rooms were dated and worn but clean and staff was helpful and nice. The "breakfast" that's included consisted of bad coffee and pour your own waffle so skipped that and went to Starbucks down the street. But for $60/night we got what we paid for and it was decent place to lay your head for few hours on a long road trip.

Not an enjoyable stay. The staff was very nice and the beds were comfortable. The air conditioner worked well but that's the most I can say. The place is in need of a good cleaning, the bathroom baseboards had a layer of dirt/dust and walls were dirty. A little paint would work wonders. The smoke alarm was sitting on the window sill with no battery, probably why the room smelled slightly of smoke. However, loved the cappuccino machine.
