The advertisement said breakfast. Their idea of breakfast consisted of honey bun, nutrigrain bar, Belvita snack pack, and coffee. They should elaborate about the breakfast, most of the guests were unhappy. They thought getting a hot breakfast (eggs, bacon, oatmeal etc)

We pulled in and there were people sitting outside their room with a small grill. From the looks of their room I think they lived there. There were also 2 people milling around the parking lot which seemed unsafe. We decided not to stay here based on those issues.
