The lobby was nice. Staff was nice. The restaurant was the high point of the property. But the hotel description stayed continental breakfast and there was none. We were expecting onsite breakfast based on what was stated when we booked and there was mere zero options on property.
The rooms were decent but the bathroom in our room was in desperate need of some TLC.
