We are a party of 6 that stayed in 3 Junior Suites. Rooms are nice and service is good. Property urgently needs updating and repairs. According to the information displayed in Expedia, Breakfast was supposed to be free but, the hotel staff said that it was not included in the rate. So we had no complimentary breakfast.
