Baseball game couple's trip

We got a suite with jetted tub. The tub was wonderful but there was no soap down for the tub, only up for people standing to take a shower. Also, breakfast is included but doesn't start until 7 AM when most people are already on the road to catch their flight. My husband was treated rudely when he asked if he could at least have a muffin which was already out on the counter. The suite was a very comfortable size.
