It's ok but not crazy. I don't understand how the rating for this place is so high, I feel like it doesn't accurately reflect this property..

The room was nice and clean. The bed was comfy. There were good bathroom amenities. The WiFi was spotty for streaming. The breakfast was a basic hotel breakfast. It could’ve been a little better. More options would be nice. The coffee definitely needed some help. It was pretty bad. But there is a Keurig in the room too. All in all I would stay again.
