"This hotel is very nice and reasonably priced.my first time there will definitely going back. The breakfast was included in booking. The room and bathroom is clean."
"I usually stay at Homewood Suites because I like the rooms and they have a good breakfast. The breakfast at this one wasn't very good at all. The scrambled eggs were hard formed and overcooked. They had tortillas, but when I went to fold it, it broke apart and was useless. The fruit salad has the string processed flavor where everything tastes the same. I will go somewhere else next time I am in the area."
