Our room rate included breakfast & the buffet is impressive (with the exception of the eggs benedict which was soggy and quite disgusting) there was a nice choice of fresh fruit & our coffee was brough to us by an amazingly helpful & friendly waitress - I wish I recalled her name she was first rate & we filled out a comment card that morning mentioning her name & her great service and we left her a healthy tip.
