Very nice. Room was clean, staff was pleasant. I would certainly recommend. Normally we never pay attention to hotel breakfast, but because of all the notable mentions in other reviews of gluten free options and how wonderful the breakfast was, we decided to check it out. Yes there were a couple of GF cereals, yogurt and fruit. Not sure if the eggs looking product and sausage were but even if they were since they were touching the toast that could be a problem for most people with gluten issues. All the food labels said they contained bioengineered ingredients so we didn’t end up having anything after all but it did look probably a degree better than the typical generic hotel breakfast option. Enjoy I guess!

The carpet was gross. You had to hold the handle down on the toilet to make it flush. This was room 106. Also there was no ice in the ice machine on first floor or second floor.
