WOW!!!
The cleanest hotel room I’ve been in in for well over a decade. I found out how old this hotel was and impressed me even more! The desk clerk had a 30 year service on her shirt. We checked in about 10:00 PM. She was there wiping down tables in the breakfast area at 8:00 for breakfast. An amazing experience all around!!!

Really good overall. Breakfast lacked much for real nutritious high protein and fiber with low sugar options. Powder eggs from a bag and biscuits and gravy is such a 2000 hotel breakfast. Do boiled eggs, milk, water, oatmeal, berries, fruit, nuts. Overall happy but bummed with breakfast options. Grabbed a banana and ran.
