Just Okay, I guess

good food selectionearly check-in chargeextra fee
The breakfast had a good selection of different foods (especially the eggs!).
I arrived earlier than the check-in time and had to pay for early access. It's frustrating to be charged extra, even when the room is ready and waiting.
