Not a Good Value.

Had not been here in 41 years, traffic much worse. Hotel leaves much to be desired. Room has almost no chairs and is about IBIS sized. Restaurant a JOKE. It is "western themed" inside but a Chinese restaurant. Tried to have breakfast, saw their POOR buffet with no personnel inside, left and drove 15 minutes to Denny's which was a good move. No elevator, stairs are metal and steep. Rained plus hail and dangerouse going up and down those stairs.
