Room was clean and very large. Furniture is outdated and worn but nothing too extreme. Bed was soft, probably a bit too soft. Breakfast was pretty non existent even though a waffle iron was there I never saw it turned on. Basically some cereal and toast. But for what you pay there isn't much to complain about. You have a good clean and safe room. I would stay here again.
