Expedia said Breakfast was free. During check in we were also told breakfast was free. When we went to breakfast, we were asked to pay $17 a person or something similar, but as soon as we said we were told it was free breakfast and showed the Expedia statement, they had no issues and we got the free breakfast. They probably need to communicate properly about this.
