I was given the impression that the rooms come with complimentary breakfast but oh I was proven wrong. The guests were told the bookings from Expedia don’t come with breakfast???? That was very disappointing. The guests had to pay for their breakfast. This is very wrong as it should have been stated clearly during the booking but it was not. I felt so bad.
