Pros:

The place is a rip off. The room was for $102.00. I got home this morning and my card was charged $201.00. You should refund the extra $100.00 you took out of my account.

Cons:

Being ripped off.

“Breakfast” is just offbrand, frozen, Jimmy Dean sandwiches.
Pros:

Was a decent quiet stay.

Cons:

I booked this over another due to the included breakfast and reviews saying it was good breakfast.

If the breakfast is a factor for you, look elsewhere! Something may have changed but all they offer is frozen sandwiches with a taste and texture very close to sawdust.

Either that or old muffins/bagels.

The english muffin I grabbed was a bit hard.

Even the muffin I grabbed seemed like it was a bit old.

Totally understandable if you can’t manage breakfast. But do not advertise it if thats the case :/
