"Rey convenient to have a room with kitchen, full fridge and the things you need for an extended stay. I have stayed in the area local hotels many times before bot forevermore will utilize this hotel for my visits. More reasonable, convenient location and great breakfast variety… even more vegetarian options for me. Only complaint though from my husband “serve bacon” on a few more days. We stayed 7 days and the one day bacon was served it was Gone long before we got there! He got No Bacon and he’s still a little annoyed by that! 😂. Front desk morning staffer was very friendly, always a greeting and smile and the breakfast servers were always friendly and helpful."
