Comfortable bed, clean room.

Was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was average, didnt have many options. Would possibly stay again, not for the breakfast or the staff since they were kind of rude and not accommodating and hopefully what happened doesn't happen again. Couldn't use elevator since power went out. We were on the 2nd floor which we didnt have to climb too many stairs. I have bad knees, need a replacement so had to go slow. 4hours later, still no power, was close to check out when power came back on. We showered in the dark! They could do better and find staff that are not rushing you to leave the breakfast area even when its still 2 hours left to serve with no one waiting. We should have got a discount for not having power or a/c for hours! I asked and the front desk said no, the power should be back up shortly. Overall, I rate it a 6.5.
