The staff was wonderful but we chose the location because of the complementary breakfast and you would not believe that somehow the right before breakfast was scheduled to open the kitchen staff said they blew a breaker and didn’t have power TO THE OUTLETS USED FOR COOKING ONLY.😩 The entire building had power but no one could figure out how to get power to the food area. It totally ruined our stay.
