Disliked: Staff & service
The facility is fine, nice beds (awful pillows) nice bathroom, nice room lay out. Carpet in room old and musty, room musty smelling. Fridge and microwave work fine. Glorified motel standard. Gym is bare bones but effective. Breakfast is simple lots of cereal, bagels, pasteries, and fruit. No eggs or protein items (some sugar yogurts there). No sleep timer on remote (something I like to have), lots of channels avaliable.

La habitacion que nos tocó fué comoda, no asi las camas. Vendria bien reemplazar las alfombras por otro tipo de piso mas actual. El desayuno no se caracterizo por su variedad ni abundancias, realmente escueto y todo embasado. Gracias

This is a great value. Oder property, but very reasonably priced. Beds are comfortable. Had a good night sleep which was important because that is what we mainly wanted from our stay. Staff is friendly and room clean. Breakfast could use some work, but I have seen worse. Cereal, beagles cream cheese apple and bananas, yogurt juice and coffee. Have is a start to the day.
