"Everything was super nice. The front desk was always there and helpful. We only had one complaint. Breakfast?? We thought it was free breakfast? Still not sure. We came down and ate one day and didn't pay. Second day they came around and charged us. Everything was cold. You don't mind paying so much if it's good. It should be handled differently if it isn't included. The person asking for you to pay was more interested in getting us to pay than filling and keeping breakfast full and making sure we new how it worked"
