Disappointed. I enjoyed yogurt. OJ a little tart for my stomach. I do not eat this kind of food. Graves I just never cared for. Cold cereals I do not eat very often. I like a cinnamon or blueberry bagel , coffee with French vanilla creamer and banana and yogurt.
Gravy.

I wanted to bring to your attention a security concern I’ve recently noticed. Some of the entrance doors to the building have been left unlocked, which could pose a risk to the safety and security of residents.

Friendly staff, continental breakfast. Good price. Not a fancy hotel but the room and hotel were clean. Decent mattress on the beds
Not that I didn’t like it but maybe rotate the continental breakfast option. Have eggs for instance some days instead of biscuits and gravy. Food was totally fine though. A towel hook in bathroom would be good
