Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service

We are considering avoiding this hotel.

We have stayed at this property several times, and each time it gets a bit poorer. The breakfast now is simply terrible! Oatmeal mush the is mostly watery gruel instead of mush; orange juice that tastes very funny, like it hasn't been kept frozen before use; hard boiled eggs no longer available; scrambled eggs that taste like something besides eggs; coffee that isn't hot, and is bitter. It is like the breakfast is not a matter of importance to this hotel's manager!
