8/10 Good
"The breakfast is small but some good options such as make your own waffles, boiled eggs, and yogurt. The free cookies at 8:00 pm was packaged Grandma cookies, which is OK. We only took part in it 1 time out of the 3 days we were there. The shower water is scalding hot and it took a while to cool down. The panel behind the shower lever was upside down but normally you take the lever to the furthest space and than back it off to get a warm shower but it seemed to stay very hot. The pool is comfortable. The mural in the room was beautiful. There are two sinks outside the bathroom with the toilet and shower. I was afraid I was going to slip in the shower since it is rock but I did not. The beds were comfortable. There are many restaurants around the hotel within driving and walking distance. Target and shopping up the street."
