also the free breakfast food at Hampton / hyatt house / embassy - it’s pretty awful as is the free coffee. It’s just really not great. Actually the free lobby coffee at Autograph in kaua’i (Koloa landing) was really very very bad. The lobby iced tea and lobby ice water and fitness center water were all really good. The free coffee was awful. Omg!!! Awful.
You speak the truth. The low-end
Hilton properties do have awful breakfast offerings. I don't drink coffee so I don't know how bad that is. However, the homeless situation has a serious downside; they are breaking into vehicles and harassing guests more and more. I recently spent 3 weeks at a property where there were over 20 smashed guest vehicle windows during my stay, with lots of thefts of property. This in spite of an on-site security guard. The hotel manager said the police really won't do anything about the street people when they steal food and harass guests. One couple was actually loading their vehicle to leave in the check-in lane and were smash-and-grabbed by a gang, losing literally everything. One night, I got back to the hotel around 11 PM after work and the front lobby door and multiple windows had been smashed by street people and the glass and rocks were everywhere. There was only the night clerk, so I volunteered to sweep up the glass so people wouldn't be stepping in it. The next morning, when I left for work, the rocks and debris were still there.
