Beautiful front area with restaurant/bar. The Continental breakfast was beautiful, and the wait staff for breakfast was helpful. The beds were SO comfortable and we loved the pillows! Even the toilet paper was a great brand! We would definitely stay here again.

In the past the omelette bar was free and is now charged.
It was a big bonus for our choice of staying.

The only sad part was that the omelette bar is now $10 per omelette, when before it was part of the breakfast. One of the main reasons we have stayed at this hotel for so many years was because of the wonderful breakfast. Please consider bringing it back as part of the breakfast rather than charging separately for it. Without this, we may go stay somewhere else.
