We should all be afraid, very afraid. I just spent 2 weeks at a FS in KC and what was once a decently robust CL is now a joke.

Very minimal offerings morning and PM, anything "prepackaged" that you could once takeout is gone. Like chips, breakfast bars, granola bars, cereals, yogurts, milk, bananas, etc. Only the barest minimum put out at a time, the poor staff has to constantly scramble to replenish stuff after each few guests. Seem to be buying butter, cream cheese, etc in bulk and putting out in communal dishes. Cheese and meats - no more.

Just Cookie dust at 8pm. No WSJ. No mouthwash. Final insult is now tiny 8oz bottles of water instead of the usual pints.

So at what point is this benefit useless and I head to more, complete and comfortable service, free internet and cheaper accommodations like a RI or Homewood Suites?
