Breakfast
Breakfast is delivered directly to guest rooms, though the timing system receives mixed reviews. The menu includes items like quiche, steel-cut oatmeal, fresh fruit, banana nut bread, yogurt parfaits, and French toast. While most guests praise the quality and taste of the breakfast offerings, some mention challenges with the ordering system, which requires texting orders the night before and selecting from limited delivery time slots. Vegetarian and vegan options are available. A few guests note occasional delays or mix-ups with orders, but generally find the food tasty when it arrives.
