Breakfast service was good to me at least, but I did also go at 7:30am to beat the crowd. Also got upgraded to King Balcony w/ Ocean View after asking about upgrades, so that was very nice.

Think I will still give this place another try again though - location is just too good and everyone deserves a second chance (hopefully?)
When it’s not busy this property is amazing. When it gets even moderately busy things fall apart due to minimal staff and training. When it’s really busy with big events it’s really not worth the price.
