The rooms were clean and check in was easy. That’s about all that went well with this stay unfortunately. I attempted to take a shower at 930 at night. No hot water. Breakfast was inedible. Yes even the prepackaged muffins and bagels. I would hazard that they’re past their best by dates. They were extremely chewy and not in a good way. They didn’t get eaten beyond the initial bite and one more to confirm they were really that texture. Half of the oranges were so old they were brown. I come fairly regularly to this location and it was a marked difference in experience this stay than my other stays. I hope it’s a one off, but that breakfast was sketch.

Awesome stay nice and quiet. The quietest hotel, don't know if they have something to sound proof rooms but thanks. Laundry machines in the building, Wednesday social night, and breakfast daily. Staff was very professional and courteous. You have to request for room cleaning. But overall I would recommend to stay here with prices in the military budget.
