"What breakfast? It was coffee, oatmeal packet. Granola bar and old muffins. I was hoping to have breakfast for my toddler. Thought I missed it the first day since it was bare. Nope. That was all the โ€œbreakfastโ€. The after was even worse because they didnโ€™t restock. Def look at what โ€œbreakfast entailsโ€ because this was not it. Otherwise, the hotel was as expected. Noisy at night, I thought the window was open, you can hear everything happening outside. Even simple conversations people where having and we where on the 2nd floor."
