Given how upfront they were about their RA policies, I would suggest calling or emailing to confirm - unlike some ICs that keep RA bennies very mysterious, and where asking ahead may not necessarily the best policy.

The breakfast buffet was excellent, but expensive, so a breakfast-inclusive rate would likely be a good deal.
Excellent information. Thanks!
