As most of Comfort Inns are standard, what makes this one different? Ground floor rooms have two main doors, one opens up to the parking lot and the second gives access to the hotel's main corridor. This allows parking the car on your doorstep and getting into the lobby and other facilities while indoors.
Flat screens have not arrived to this hotel yet but TV,s are large and colors are still bright. Due to the proximity of the freeway, some noise from vehicles may be heard from rooms facing the road. Carpets all over are quite new, spotless and comfy.
The place is well kept and decorated, with a breakfast room separated from the rest of the lobby and front desk. Breakfast is full hot and includes eggs, sausage patties, biscuits and gravy. Unfortunately, trays and coffee were empty for some 25 minutes, maybe because staff was multitasking assisting housekeeping, front desk and the breakfast room.
The worst? The Internet connection. Browsing the web and sending e-mails was a real pain with constant stops and line holds, even using a laptop, an iPad and a wifi-enabled smartphone.
