I wasn’t thrilled with breakfast. When I booked the reservation they wrote that a breakfast was served in the morning. When I arrived I was told that the hot breakfast is an extra $10.00 while the continental breakfast is free. The people at the reservation desk were very friendly and helpful. They made sure that I could reach my museum by printing bus schedules that helped catch the right bus.
