Bad Breakfast
The breakfast is pretty bad. Let’s start with the utensils. The spoons are each wrapped in their own plastic cover, which is nice. Whereas the forks are all completely loose crammed into a container tines up so that you have to touch lots of forks to get one. I don’t know whose fingers had been all over the fork I took. There were no knives whatsoever. The lady said knives did not come in on the truck. Well that that means the manager should drive out to Walmart and buy 10 to 20 boxes of plastic knives and bring them back to his hotel. The food was mostly bad across-the-board. The turkey sausage was as dry as shoe leather, the whites only omelette, tasted like it was made from powder, and the freshly made pancakes were tough. The lady working the breakfast area was very nice.

Not happy with that hotell
Check-in was horrible the staff member at that time needs a lot of customer care training... everyone else was very friendly. The place smelled of smoke. The body was in the shower was completely empty and the top was broken, the shower drain did not drain correctly so you were standing in water while showering. The toilet seat was not tight. Breakfast was good.

4/10 Fair

When we checked in, we were only booked for one night. We had added a second night late and were told Expedia doesn’t know the hotels availability. Then we were out in a different room than originally requested and had to move. There was hair on the ceiling of our bathroom, a used coffee pod in the coffee maker, crumbs on the pull out mattress and no extra bedding. We ended up checking out early.
