The room was clean and updated. We stayed two nights. The first morning the breakfast was great. Hot food. Fully stocked. We ate a little later than most people. The second day it was busy and they had zero plates. People were reusing plates or getting coffee cups to put food in.

When I mentioned it to the front desk at check out they said “yeah it happens all the time. You should’ve called the police”. ...
