Every morning The continental breakfast didn't have orange juice or apple juice.It was hit or miss and watered down the first three days. There were jimmy dean's overcooked hard as a rock bagel sandwiches.There's no laundry facilities, no pool.The doors on the sides didn't work for easy.Access, this is a terrible place.This really is a 1 star hotel, the only good thing about the place is that they were next to arby's and denny's.The chromecast on the back of the t v didn't work their wi.Fi didn't allow me to connect any of my devices.Just a terrible trip all around. For a cherry on top, my coworker had his medication stolen by one of the cleaning staff.
