They need to offer cleaning when stating for more than 2 days. And they need to work on the breakfast, the don't replenish food. Some people rent based on the options available like breakfast for a reason, work etc.The air condition in one of the rooms did not work and when we asked for extra towels they said they would take them to the room and they didn't.

I would recommend for the complimentary breakfast to have microwaveable bowls available for the oatmeal instead of only providing styrofoam bowls bc they melt in the microwave. How else could we make the oatmeal you provided without the correct bowls. Also, would be better if the breakfast provided something cold to drink like orange juice or apple juice instead of only hot coffee.

Breakfast is kept out 24/7. The cereal and serving equipment look like they used them for a dog, then put them out for food. The room was dusty everywhere and had a lot of bugs in it to the point that my toddler picked one up and handed it to me. Nothing was clean, and no housekeeping came during my stay. I guess if you want cheap, you get cheap and dirty.

Old MOTEL not hotel

Very old & outdated motel not hotel. There were stains on the pillow cases, bed sheets, & towels as well as having giant holes in the bath towels. Breakfast area is very small & outdated.
