For a good few years thereafter, MOST of the Four Points I stayed in used Seattle's Best in the guestrooms.
Nowadays, however, I almost always encounter Maxwell House and -- occasionally -- a no-name generic brand that is undrinkable.
I'd like to see a brand standard that requires a quality drinkable brand that's appropriate for 2010 tastes.
You hit the nail on the head.
Thyetus: The property is the Four Points Cocoa Beach, FL. They had Seattle's Best paper cups but Maxwell House coffee.
