Check in was at 4:00 but no rooms were ready. Said they would text me when it was ready but never did. Showed back up after dinner and was able to check in. Front desk told me there was a $15 voucher for breakfast, but saw today that I was charged for it. Waffle was cold and the dining area did not open when they were supposed to which put me on the road later. Front desk clerk was rude and said they will open eventually
