Hawthorne Inn & Conference Center

The breakfast was totally disgusting. A clump of cold scrambled eggs and something that looked like a boiled burger patty. Yikes

Staff, cleanliness. Location!

Staff was welcoming and very helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. The property is adjacent to several walkable restaurant locations.

Plenty of easy parking, with maybe a dozen vehicles parked there. But 3 vehicles (at least) had people sitting in them with doors open, just sitting there. They were not gathering items from their vehicle. They just sat there watching other guests come and go. I went in and expressed my concern to the welcome desk and the staff there told me they were monitoring them on camera. That satisfied me in the short term, but I had not encountered that situation in my stays elsewhere. In the morning, by fears of possible break-in to our vehicle were unfounded.

I specifically searched booking.com for a hotel in the area with freee breakfast AND non-pet friendly. Search results took me to this place. Get there and immediately hit with smell of dog. Gross. They say the 2nd floor is pet friendly. I ask for a room furthest from the pets. But that didn't help. Its like sitting in non-smoking section of a smoking restuarant - its everywhere. Allergies were SO bad even on the 5th floor. Elevators all smelled of dog too. Gross and terrible for my allergies. The the breakfast promised in search results - was no longer free. I got scammed and ripped off for sure.

Clean, staff were very nice and helpful.

People hanging out around the back side, key card would not work and no one was answering call button when pushed.
