8/10 Good
"There was no housekeeping in the three nights I was there. Not the end of the world, but clean towels and sufficient supply of toilet paper would have been nice. There was plenty of parking, the room smelled smokey (I think because it was the end room so open windows let in all the smoke from people right outside the entrance), but the room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was okay but not great. There were premade egg options you could microwave, a waffle iron with mix to make waffles, yogurt, and toast. There was nothing to drink other than 4 oz bottles of water, and no fruit. Again, not the end of the world, but worth knowing when comparing options. Overall, I wouldn't not stay here, but it would not be my first choice when returning to the area."
