    Expedia Verified Review
    3 / 5 Okay
    The breakfast was amazing on Sunday, but they changed the hours for Monday and breakfast ended at 8:30 am. I paid extra and was not able to utilize it. We asked for a snack and was refused. This would not normally be such an issue, but due to current restrictions, it is not possible to eat in a restaurant.
