I wish I could be more supportive. Hotel has so much potential but it was old and dank upon stepping inside. The room itself was gross. One wall looked like a backstop for a cup of coffee. Looked as if someone threw a drink against the wall. Warn out door, carpet etc. STAIN on the sheets. I honestly didn't even want to open the curtain to see what else was lurking. The most frustrating part was that breakfast was included but...I don't even know what to say. We are used to continental breakfasts at hotels and we can live with it but - NO MILK for the cereal they had out????? NO CREAMER for the coffee????? They were "out" of both! Staff was very friendly about it but if I don't have my coffee with cream in the am and my kid cannot eat cereal - look out people. What good is "BREAKFAST INCLUDED" when you are missing one of the most important food groups?????
