Room was very clean, but the only option for breakfast didn't seem to be able to accommodate any additional business- it was very empty but we were in a line with the people ahead of us complaining about the time that they had been waiting, a server looked at us and turned tail and went the other way immediately like they wanted us to think they didn't see us.
