10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is conveniently located, and the rooms are surprisingly large, comfortable, and very nice\. From a room and location standpoint, we were very pleased with our stay\. Unfortunately, the complimentary breakfast leaves a lot to be desired\. The powdered eggs and turkey bacon were definitely not highlights\. After four days, I can confidently say the best part of breakfast was the Jif peanut butter\. The front desk experience could also use some attention\. Communication was difficult at times, and the same employee seemed to be working when we arrived, when we went to bed, and again when we came down in the morning\. I’m not sure if she actually sleeps there or if the hotel is simply understaffed, but her attitude certainly reflected someone who may have been working far too many hours\. Overall, if you take the breakfast and inconsistent front desk service out of the equation, this is a lovely hotel with spacious rooms in a great location\. With a little improvement in staffing and breakfast quality, it could be an excellent place to stay"
