Decent hotel. Just needed an adequate place to sleep. Did not sleep well on that mattress, but my back doesn’t do well on 99% of the mattresses out there. Did not try the complimentary breakfast

The hotel tried to give us a doubles room when we booked a king, but rectified the problem when we expressed our disappointment. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean but very dated and worn.
