I'm sorry, if Element Hotels don't know how to maintain fresh oatmeal, and they have to resort to instant oatmeal, due to their own failures, then Element Hotels should buy a big box of Bandaids to cover all of their wounds, and aim for getting to the heart of their service failures and irregularities.
This is why I never stay at Element hotels. I'd much rather stay at a Ritz Carlton and pay $18 for fresh steel cut oats with a spoonful of brown sugar and a handful of blueberries.
