8/10 Good

"We are gluten free and dairy free and the front desk staffer was very helpful in getting us ingredient information about the breakfast cereal options offered so we could make healthy choices. The egg whites and sausage were good choices for us too. The room was clean but the carpet needed updating as there were several dark stains that made it feel like it wasn't. Our room was quiet and the bed was very comfortable!"
