Breakfast was fresh. Coffee was hot and caffeinated. Hard boiled eggs were good, but some scrambled eggs or breakfast meat would have been nice. Some granola or whole grain options would be a good addition to the oatmeal packets and Costco muffins. Thanks for the convenient breakfast!

Good location for strolls. Room was clean and decent but showed age. Sliding door did not close shut. Heating was not sufficient. We experienced a power outage due to a storm but the kitchen lady did her best to provide warm breakfast.
