Yes breakfast was fresh, but lacks quality. Sandwiches ran out as we arrived. The bed was extremely low to the ground for a handicapped room, and difficult for my husband to arise from. Bathroom lighting is way too dim. Outlet above desk did not work. I haven't stayed in a hotel room with no microwave in years!! C'mon!

The front desk staff was excellent. We arrived late at night, close to midnight, while driving and looking for a place to stay. By mistake, we had booked the room just after midnight, thinking we already had a reservation for that night. When we arrived, we realized the booking was actually for the next day. The staff member was extremely courteous and helpful after about an hour, he was able to arrange a room for us so we could stay overnight. We truly appreciated his kindness and professionalism.
