Acceptable Stay

extra camp bed good breakfast selection long wait unavailable options
The staff was helpful. The hotel secured an extra camp bed for one of my kids because the family room only had four beds. Staff provided bedding for it. Breakfast had a good selection, so everyone could find something to eat.
I waited over 20 minutes in the bar area to order food. After three options were unavailable, I ate elsewhere.
