This is a motel, not a hotel. The USB chargers and outlets did not work well. There are no restaurants nearby and probably a lot of people would like the breakfast but I don't like the kind of breakfast they serve because it is cheap, processed American food. Wish I had stayed elsewhere.

I checked into The Nest after a very distressing experience at another hotel that I thought was going to be good, based on two reviews on this site. It was a gross misrepresentation. That place was horrible and gross. The Nest is the total opposite. Clean, well staffed, comfortable. The bed was wonderful! A total delight!
