"The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was very accommodating. The only thing our party really had an issue with was breakfast. There clearly is not enough tables for everyone to have a place to sit for breakfast. Maybe taking away upholstered lounge furniture and adding more tables and chairs would be a better use of the space. We had 10 people in our party and enjoyed being able to have coffee and breakfast together. We were not able to sit together until the area cleared out closer to the end of your serving time."
