Room was clean and air conditioning worked great! The bed was very comfortable.The water pressure was horrible. There wasn't much to choose from on the breakfast side. The hotel was in an area that had restaurants and shopping. It was a good stay for the most part.

What I didn't like was the main door to hotel rooms didn't have a lock. This is the safety issue! Anyone can come in and out. The door should remain locked all the time and can be accessed only by the guests with the access key.

Close accommodations

Average accommodations, basics clean room, the TV did not work the last night but I think due to weather. Basic breakfast, not anything extra special. Safe and clean. I would stay again. Close to everything. Main strip. Can walk if needed.

We checked in using a kiosk with a virtual link to someone offsite. He was a good sport since we had teenagers with us. Owner told me later they were testing the use of the kiosk because he can’t find employees. There were a variety of guests from families to a group of older women. Rooms were clean and pics were accurate. Complimentary breakfast room has seating for about 6-8 so prepare to eat in your room. No protein choices at breakfast when we were there. We were in town for an event so basically at hotel at night.

The breakfast area was clean and inviting. Only to have curdled milk in container on counter. Lack of wafflemix, old out of date hard cereal, and no coffee in coffee holder. This was all an hour before breakfast time was over. Both days.
