A decent place for 1 night. Price was good. The walls were a little thin for noise blockage from the adjoining room. Breakfast could use an upgrade. It was sparse with 3 options for sugary cereal, a few prepackaged baked goods and the usual waffel maker. Coffee offered only powdered creamer. Got milk from next to cereal. Ho hum....

First room smelled heavily of smoke even though this was a “smoke free” property. Second room had not been prepared for guests and the third room the lamp was broken and the socket and bulb were hangout. I carried it down to the front desk and she got another lamp and brought it to the room. She hooked it up and it worked. The bed was the best attribute of this property.
