Just an update:

Got a full bottle of merlot and chocolate covered strawberries...

Breakfast coupon for full buffet was under the door when I woke up.....

Breakfast buffet was fine...waffles, blintzes, oatmeal, pastry, eggs, bacon, potatoes, smoked salmon....service was pretty bad. Never got more coffee-and the server was annoyed when i asked for milk instead of half & half....(this hotel has big carafes of milk for cereal...i usually just get a container...) Possibly this is because the gratuity and tax are included? His loss, he'd have earned a couple extra bucks....oh well.

When I told the FD about this (couldn't find a restaurant manager) he got me a cup to go from the little coffee break they set up in the lobby (coffee, tea & pastries-i suppose for sale but by the time i got there the attendants were gone. Good idea though if you're in a rush)

Other than that, it wasn't bad. Considering the HW price was 1/3 of the lowest non-cancellable rate i could find, i was pretty happy. Might wind up there again tonight (i don't like being too far away when a relative is in a hospital)


eta: decided to stay another night.....got nice atrium view room (i actually like it better)....and the usual amenities....

Also, i am posting photos on webshots....my user name over there is megr1125
