We didn’t have any breakfast here so I can’t speak to that however we stayed here as it was near the start/finish line of the Army Run and boy were we ever happy we did! It was nice not to have to travel anywhere but up an elevator to get back to our room!! Room was well kept and clean, we had a “lovely” view of a dumpster lol but that’s what I get for getting the cheaper room over paying for a view. Only thing that I could “complain” about was the hot tub wasn’t particularly hot and they were doing construction at the front entrance but besides that it was a good stay and I would stay again but maybe pay extra for a better view.
