The main issue is the quality of the buffet...very limited choice, not even a real salad bar...meaning...often there were no actual lettuce at all. The morning didnt have a variety of fruit...only watermelon and cantaloup. You expect good fruit choices in the morning. All other meals were passable at best, not much variety or healthy choices. Can you imagine not having Taco on any day ? The hotel is nice, it's sad that the food brings it down for no valid reasons. We know buffer are never "wow" but there is a minimum that would have been easy to do.
