This is beyond lawyers and liability.
In many places in order to do food service you need a "certified food handler" on staff. It is possibly this individual has been laid off.

I think they are still permitted to give out prepackaged snacks or serve coffee without having a "certified food handler" though.

Maybe they have no money for throwing fruit and water into a paper bag.

I understand cuts in services given low occupancy and they have slashed staffing. I would not expect the usual Cook to Order Breakfast in a Hilton Garden Inn anymore. I would expect a corresponding cut in rates. I am not seeing that.
