Everything was fine up until we ordered delivery breakfast from The Cottage. We ordered coffees from the menu thinking that they'd come from The Cottage, but it was just the hotel's coffee. So we paid for something that is otherwise complimentary, plus a service fee, PLUS a delivery fee. And it wasn't good coffee, hence why we wanted to try coffee from The Cottage instead. We felt misled, so in the future hopefully the menu is more transparent about where each item is coming from, if it's not all coming from The Cottage.
