My stay was compromised by...

Liked: The property did provide a hot breakfast each morning, which included eggs, sausage, and potatoes. While I appreciated the consistency and the effort to offer a warm meal, the lack of variety—especially alternating only between sausage patties and sausage links—made it repetitive over time. A little more creativity or rotation in the breakfast menu would go a long way in enhancing the guest experience.
Disliked: The room reeked of mold, mildew, and residual smoke — an immediate red flag for health and safety. The air quality was so poor it triggered respiratory irritation and persistent coughing. By 5:36 AM, I was forced to sit in my car just to breathe properly. Whether it’s mold embedded in the walls or soaked into the carpet, the environment is hazardous. This is not only unacceptable but potentially dangerous to guests with allergies or respiratory conditions. I will be canceling my reservation and relocating to a facility that prioritizes cleanliness, air quality, and basic guest well-being.
