You could easily find something healthy to eat. We had cereal and yogurt. The parking lot was dominated by large trucks - tough to find a safe spot. The rooms were small but clean and looked like it had been given a recent facelift. The exterior of the building needs cleaning up - a little shabby looking. The price as about right though.
