Overall, this was a good choice. I would have like to see a daily rotation of the breakfast selections, the same thing for the four mornings we were there. On the last day, they did not offer waffles, which were excellent! For the price, we would stay there again.

The employees were all so incredibly kind and helpful. The AC was out in common areas though, and the breakfast had about half of their options. (No juice, no waffles - both machines were broken.)
