Expedia advertised that they still do breakfast and a kitchen was available as part of the amenities , but when I got there it was not true. I thought I got linked to the direct website of the place. Later I went to google and there it was plain as day, we do not do breakfast. I wish there was a mini refrigerator and microwave in the room. There was college fridge in the hallway that you share with others.
