Check-in was quick and easy, and the room was clean and comfortable. The shower had good water pressure and consistent hot water, which was great. The cleaning staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay.
However, breakfast was disappointing. We went down around 8:45 am, and most of the food trays were empty or just had old food in them. When we asked the front desk attendant what time breakfast ended, she said 9:30 am. We then asked if more food would be brought out, but she told us they wouldn’t be refilling anything because it wouldn’t be ready before breakfast ended.
I understand that breakfast service ends at a certain time, but it shouldn’t be unreasonable to expect fresh food to be available until that time. If breakfast is advertised until 9:30, guests should be able to enjoy it up until then not just early risers. Getting there 45 minutes before the breakfast ended should have been plenty of time.

Charged my 250.00 for damages that never occurred. We are filing a lawsuit and with the consumer financial protection bureau. Hope it costs them 1000 hours of paperwork for my 250.00. Place is ran like a joke
