Never again. The breakfast was awful. The staff during breakfast rude. The only kind person was the bus boy that one day worked 12 hrs if not more. The hotel gave us vouchers to use for our meals. I misplaced one of mine. I can’t get another one. The front desk rude disrespectful. For this price. Find another hotel. That will treat you with respect Never again.
