Room was very clean!, breakfast was great with lots of variety. I think it would be more environmentally friendly to use stainless steel cutlery instead of plastic! Also, it would be helpful if they could open the breakfast area earlier on the weekend when they have large groups of athletes competing early AM. Eg. Border city swimming meet

Room was spotless. Smaller than I expected but it had everything in it I needed. My only complaint was the parking lot was tiny so we had to park at a nearby garage for an higher fee (I was told parking lot and parking ramp were same price, they were not. It’s always a nice perk to have free Breakfast when out and about.
