8/10 Good
"Breakfast was very good, there was lots of items to choose from. Cereals, breads & bagels, waffles with multiple toppings (chocolate chips, strawberries, whip cream), butter & maple syrup, fresh fruits (bananas & oranges), skillet potatoes, scrambled eggs, sausage links. Salsa was available for the eggs, so my only suggestion is have some small tortillas available to make breakfast tacos (hint: the hotel sits next to a tortilla bakery). Juice was available in 3 flavors. The digital coffee dispenser had lots of choices, most available in regular or decaf: latte, cappuccino, espresso, coffee, hot chocolate, and hot water. There was an abundance of creamers, half & half, and skim milk, with sugar and sugar substitutes, plus tea bags. Paper cups were a good size, with lids and sleeves."
