When we were there in the fall the Manager's Reception was pretty much an open bar with snacks - we were meeting folks later and had a good buzz by the time we met them :-)

Breakfast was a cattle roundup - tons of people walking through the buffet type line. Had to check in at a table in the hallway to make sure you were supposed to get breakfast - seems like everyone did.

We were on a Priceline stay so we technically we're supposed to get either the reception or breakfast, but when we checked in the desk clerk said he gave it to us as a courtesy.

All in all we were very pleased with our stay.
