Mostly great

The hotel is very clean and enjoyable our check in person Earnest and he was very nice the only problem we had we was told a complimentary breakfast and the next day we found out it was a 12.95 buffet which we did not know until they gave us the bill we would have not eaten there. They should at least have a sign up before you go into the restaurant area letting people know there is a charge for the breakfast but like I said we even ask the night before and said they was not going to start charging until the next week
