8/10 Good

"The room was large, but the king bed was too soft. There was no fan in the bathroom. I would have liked some kind of breakfast availability, it wouldn't need to be complimentary. There was also no microwave in the room and the fridge wasn't cold. The location of the hotel was great and free parking was also very nice."
