Breakfast was very disorganized. There was no proper control of the crowd, and staff did not manage the situation well.

Location is great. Staff are overall excellent. Food is good at breakfast and in the cafe. The young lady who checked us out (sorry, forgot hername) was super friendly too. She is an asset to your front office team!
