Breakfast was bad. Just plain bad. Powdered eggs tasted like nothing. Bacon was transparent.. never knew you could slice bacon thin enough to see thru. Huh! Imagine that. Biscuits undercooked. Gravy gritty and flavorless. I'ld rather go hungry than endure that again.

we reserved two rooms one we checked in on Friday our son checked in on Sat. When customers book two rooms is it that hard to put them on the same floor? So frustrating! We were on the fourth he was on the Third … we asked is he on the fourth floor with us “No” was the check in persons answer…. ugg. Second is the traffic noise!!! hard to sleep bring ear plugs! The location is perfect for the reason we are in town… beds were comfortable and the room was clean. They could just be more customer oriented when there is a family books rooms together
