When we checked in, the front desk staff went to check the room to make sure that the room was ready. When we got into the room, there was no toilet paper and tissues. She gave me one roll of toilet paper, and a box of with two pieces of tissues left.

The front desk agent, Lester, was very efficient and extremely helpful with information about the area and tourist attractions. The breakfast consisted of cereal, muffins, yogurt, eggs, breakfast sausages, bread, and tater tots. The coffee (and black tea) station, together with orange/apple juice was accessible 24/7.
