The deadbolt on the door was sawed off so was pointless. Didn’t feel safe. The chair was shredded and disgusting looking. The room smelled of pickles when I entered.

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.
