Their "continental breakfast" consisted of waffles, cereal, yogurt, and on one of the 2 days we stayed, there were muffins as well. There was no phone in the room, however, when we used our cell phone to call the front desk to request light bulbs, we were immediately placed on hold anyway. The pool was too crowded to swim in, because anyone can pay to swim in it, instead of just being reserved for hotel guests. And, the pool is only open until 9\. The bathroom door in our room didn’t lock, and there was no switch for the exhaust fan. The diverter for the shower was hooked up wrong, so the hot water was cold and cold was hot. There was trash on the floor in the hallways. They appear to have spent all of the money on the pool, and minimal on the actual hotel. Disappointing to say the least."
