Met our needs, mostly

I slept wonderfully in my comfortable bed. My daughter slept well in her bed too. Things to consider - Adding gluten free options at breakfast. It did not seem safe to eat without cross contamination. It seemed like there were some long term residents staying at the hotel. Did not affect our stay. The parking lot was odd in that you drove in 1 direction, regardless of which side of the building - the direction was front to back. The parking was tight, but we found a spot. Noticed some fun games available beyond the parking lot, but it seemed a little sketchy. Perhaps it is more inviting in the daylight. They seemed to be trying to keep it clean. I think I chose to overlook a few things in our room as I was tired. This was a short night for us in our journey. I slept well. Love Comfort Inn beds.

Housekeeping needs improvement. Floor in the rooms wasn't cleaned properly. The coffee machine isn't clean, water tank of the coffee machine in the room wasn't clean. Appreciate the front desk team for changing the room but the floor in that too had some areas that wasn't clean.

We lost power and room is black with no emergency lights anywhere. Little sensor lights in the bathroom would be nice to see. Also a back up plus would be nice to make sure devices are charged.
