Disappointed in the breakfast. All Wyndhams we have stayed at offer some type of protein with breakfast. There was no eggs, bacon or sausage. They had waffles and a few mini muffins, cereal and yogurt.

In a good location but the property is very old and in need of serious repairs and updating. Seems more like a place collage kids would hangout at on spring break.
