Smaller than expected, found a black widow spider in the bed the first night staying. Pillows were extremely flat had to use both billows to feel like 1 the entire room felt cheap and just thrown together. Overall experience was alright. Staff were very friendly and the property was nice. Parking was super easy and it was very quiet at night.

Breakfastless…

The reviews said the breakfast was a great experience, HOWEVER, when I got there, they only served a half breakfast consisting of just scrambled eggs, cheese every other day, cereal, milk, canned fruit…what happened to protein (bacon/sausage), and carbs (hashbrowns) and actual fresh fruit? Seriously…WHAT!
