We checked in around 9pm and were promptly greeted by desk staff. The rooms were attached, which was convenient. Thermostat on wall in one room did not work. Bathroom door was noticeably damaged from constant wetness from tub/shower. The continental breakfast was average. Juice was just colored water. Very watered down. Pancakes were hockey pucks. Veggie omelette pockets were okay. Wish there was scrambled eggs as an option. Overall, the hotel's location was nice. Close to many chain stores/fast food and Walmart. Easy to get to from highway and the proximity to Six Flags was a bonus.
