"The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. There was not much to choose from at breakfast. If you didn’t eat cereal or waffles you had to go somewhere else to eat. My biggest complaint is with the fire alarm going off in the middle of the night. There wasn’t a fire, thank goodness but it scared us all very bad. I couldn’t sleep after thinking they could have over looked a problem. I would stay there again if I was in the area. "
