We are considering avoiding this hotel.

We have stayed at this property several times, and each time it gets a bit poorer. The breakfast now is simply terrible! Oatmeal mush the is mostly watery gruel instead of mush; orange juice that tastes very funny, like it hasn't been kept frozen before use; hard boiled eggs no longer available; scrambled eggs that taste like something besides eggs; coffee that isn't hot, and is bitter. It is like the breakfast is not a matter of importance to this hotel's manager!

Everything was seamless from check-in to check-out. Breakfast was tasty, even hand pancakes, first for us. Egg white omelette were also a first. Clean rooms and comfy beds. We will stay here again when in the area. Thank you for a nice comfy stay.

Why housekeeping knocked on my door at 4:45 in the afternoon when I was taking a nap and being jet lagged I cannot understand. The do not disturb sign was hanging from the door knob. Is this property in the habit of knocking on doors with do not disturb signs? I woke up and it was 2:30 in the morning from the country I just came from. NOT HAPPY!!!!
