“ The breakfast is not bad, it’s not amazing either. For sit to order food I expected a higher level of food. We had the huevos rancheros and biscuits and gravy. There is not a lot of seating here so prepare for a 20 minute wait. They’re bare is small and very on them with the hotel. The draft beer is good and served in a chilled glass. ”
