Short vacation stay
We stayed for a couple of days. It was hard to regulate the AC. It ran really cold so we turned it off for a little while and then it back on when we went to bed so the room temperature would be good.

The worst breakfast I've ever had and this for $180 a night! Bread was stale, eggs and sausage awful. The whole room, 6 people were throwing out their food. I have stayed at many hotels with breakfast and nothing this bad!
