"The breakfast was one of the best ever. Every choice you could imagine and plenty of each. The fruit was fresh, which is usually not the case when a bowl is set out at other hotels. I was late getting down at 9:55 a.m. and the desk gal said “Take as much time as you need; I can wait.“ So kind to accommodate me."
