Most of the breakfast was out. Potatoes were hard, and the little gravy remaining was dried and crusted to the side.

The room was a bit dirty upon arrival but I cleaned it myself because of the holiday and not wanting to cause any problems or issues with staff. Breakfast was horrible but overall the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Overall, the hotel looked very nice. It was also nice that our room had a kitchen. I did have to switch rooms when I first checked in because the first room had dirty bed linens. The manager, who was very friendly, was very apologetic and immediately switched my room. I would also mention that the mattress was not very comfortable and you could hear street noise very clearly.
