The breakfast was not good. During our last day there when we were going to check out, a worker came into our family suite at 4 o’clock in the morning without notice. The worker ended up eating some of our food that we had on the counter and taking food from the refrigerator while we were asleep in our rooms. We could hear the door slam and we woke up. I called down to the front desk and the worker said he was going to look into it. He called me back and said that there was a miscommunication between him and the cleaning ladies and they thought we had already checked out. He then ran back up to our room with our food in a plastic bag and gave us our food back and apologized.

Nice, clean room. Only drawback - the wooden chairs which when moved around, make incredible noise to those downstairs. I had someone above me who started at 4:30 am and seems to moving their chairs every 5 minutes. Beyond aggravating, and the loss of sleep!!!
