"The rooms themselves need some attention as well. The shower took about five minutes to produce even lukewarm water, which we were advised to do by the staff (I can only imagine how high their water bill must be). I noticed some dusty vents and signs of rust in the room. On the plus side, the room size was decent, though I couldn't remember the last time I encountered a microwave that wasn’t digital! However, the bed was quite comfortable.
Regarding nearby activities, the hotel is situated next to a highway, so reaching restaurants requires a short walk—about a couple of blocks. Many restaurants are located under the highway overpass, and some places are farther away than others, so it’s wise to check the distance before setting out.
As for safety, I've stayed at several hotels in different states and very few have had security personnel at the entrance. I’m unsure if this is a precautionary measure or a response to the safety needs of the area, but I didn't encounter any issues or feel unsafe during my stay.
In terms of food and drinks, I didn’t try any alcoholic beverages since I don’t drink, but the food we ordered was satisfactory. The hotel offers a buffet and, even better, an omelet station. Just note that breakfast isn’t complimentary, so be prepared to pay either at the table or charge it to your room. The service was attentive; the staff took great care of us. We also dined at the restaurant for dinner one evening, and while it was a different waiter, he was equally attentive. I had the wings, and my wife ordered the chicken quesadillas, along with two salads (one Caesar and one house salad with chicken in both). The salads were fresh and generously topped with chicken, making for a pleasant dining experience."
