The breakfast was on point. It was so hard not to eat the biscuits & gravy everyday. I'm not usually a breakfast person unless I'm working that day. This was a treat, & I liked the variety of breakfast items. The ladies that took care of keeping the food fresh & supplied were Fantastic as well as the front desk people. Hubby & I will definitely be back in the future. We are Very Happy customers 🙂🙂 Thank you all for your services. May this business & the people that work here be continually Blessed 🙏🙂
