Pros +
- The room was spacious. It had a refrigerator which we needed.
- Location & cleanliness
- Staff were very accommodating and friendly. Good selection of items for breakfast, including hot items.
Cons -
- There was only one waffle maker, two would have been better.
- A lot of times there was no one at the front desk. Suggest there be a bell on the counter.
- There were used Zynn pouches in the shower, the room only made it up to 61 degrees, and the swing bar did not fully align with the knob on the door.
