Scant Service
"Breakfast included" should include the statement "but you need to drive to a different hotel". And it should probably also include that you will be presented with zeroed out bill for you self-serve buffet breakfast. Coffee is not available at the buffet, it is dropped your table. I guess the justification for the bill and tip suggestion. Id be much more incline to help out it there was a tip jar at the buffet. And I'd be a whole lit more appreciative if the hotel just paid the staff what they're worth and not try to gouge on the "complementary" feature. Later in the afternoon I couldn’t locate a personal item. I tried calling to see it i left it there. Went to voice-mail at the front desk. Went to voice-mail at lost and found. Had to return to the hotel a to find out if I left it there. On the positive side, the front desk person was very pleasant and helpful in locating the item.

8/10 Very good

Everything was good except 2 things: (1) no one at the front desk explained that $50 holding deposit will be charged then credited back sometime after checking out, so I had to find out why there was $50 extra charged on my credit card (2) Free breakfast at the adjacent hotel was good except that hotel's dining staff gathered around and stared at the customers made eating very uncomfortable
