There was a lack of information either electronic or on paper/signs. The information on the internet noted a restaurant on the property. I wrongly assumed breakfast would be available. I was expecting a statement to be messaged or emailed to me after I checked out. I have not received any messages from the hotel. I am wondering how much they will charge for parking!
