However, beverages were served by tipped staff only, and rang in at $5/small glass for OJ, just for example - in addition to the mandatory $14 breakfast.

One of the two days they put an omelette station out, which hontestly looked nice (I didn't have time to indulge). Naturally the guy put out a tip jar pre-populated ten- and twenty-dollar bills (lest you think just a few bucks or no tip at all would fall within the target zone).

To be fair they gave me a decent room upgrade, they have recently renovated quite nicely, and their location is excellent. Also, all the staff I encountered were super nice and professional. This is simply a management shortcoming borne of pure greed.
