an ok stay, but breakfast was disappointing

overcooked bacon cheap margarine

the location was fairly convenient for what i needed. the room itself was spacious enough.

the breakfast really let the place down. the bacon was so overcooked. it seemed like it had been under heat lamps for hours. i also only got margarine, not even butter, which felt a bit cheap
