They did offer breakfast but the area was not kept attended so the hot items were not hot enough or well supplied.
This is an older building is in need of so there are many things that are in need of repairs. Some of the electrical outlets did not work in my room. The bathtub/shower drain was so slow that the tub was half full of water after my short shower. I left this comment on their comment note.
