Comments: Recently renovated FI. Room was large but didn't have an easy chair nor a couch. Only a desk chair. Been a while since I have been in a regular FI room rather than a suite; however, I thought they usually also had an easy chair. In any case no upgrade. Front Desk Associate proactively asked about points or market item during check-in for welcome gift. Current breakfast offering during Covid is Grab n Go: cereal, yogurt, coffee, juice, prepackaged hard boiled eggs, prepackaged danish, and bagged apples. It was fine for my needs. Slightly irked that they were offering Jimmy Dean Sandwiches for sale in the market but didn't give them out at breakfast (would have been a throwback to the old FI breakfast years ago). Property is near many restaurants, a Wegman's Grocery, and a Giant Eagle Grocery. There is also a TownePlace Suites across the parking lot and a SpringHill Suites a block or two away. Would stay again when in the area.
