They provide a "Hot Breakfast" which would be true if the lounge wasn't kept at a temperature at which you could hang meat. The hot breakfast is cold by the time you get to your table. The eggs are dry and severely overcooked. Taste like they were microwaved. The waffle batter is the consistency of milk, and the coffee tends to be shockingly strong and also overcooked. Yes, it is possible to burn coffee.
The laundry and dry cleaning service is arm and leg expensive. $7 just to launder a single pair of pants. (notice I didn't say "Dry clean") The on site laundry room is a bust. The machines only cost a buck (up side) but after two cycles through the dryer (two bucks) my single pair of blue jeans and two flannel shirts were still damp. Total fail.
This hotel is located about 1 mile from a terrific mall with great shopping, but good luck finding a place nearby where you can get an adult beverage to wash down the road dust. It's a good three miles to the nearest gin joint, and that's only if you like getting your poison from a chain restaurant with boring and redundant hipster decor.
Swimming pool and workout room is open 24 hours, another up side.
Staff is extremely polite, respectful and seem to be fairly competent.
