poor signalstaffing issues
The television reception was AWFUL. Many channels were unwatchable because of the poor signal. It was really ANNOYING. I expected breakfast to be included. I was told upon arrival that breakfast service was suspended due to staffing issues. This reduction in service was not reflected in the price I paid. I felt DECEIVED.
