I just don't want another CY where it is better to take the points and run, and find yourself a nice little neighbourhood cafe after (especially if staying at a CY out of town and commuting/driving in). Since this is a Sunday AM departure (and a lengthy amount of travel after) I was looking for a decent buffet-like breakfast to stack up some protein and keep me full for a good 6-8 hours after.
Just to be clear, you're fine with a buffet where the protein is liquid egg "scramble" chunks and pans of reheated frozen meat products? (If you're defining "really good" simply to mean "really filling" then cool, but that's not how the original post made it sound. Generally the only good quality hotel breakfasts out there are a la carte offerings, except at some five-star resorts and whatnot where they have a buffet with higher-end meats, smoked fishes, cheese, in-house made pastries, premium jams, and the option to add made-to-order egg dishes. I don't think there is a Bonvoy property in the Boston area that has that kind of quality buffet included for Bonvoy elites as a welcome amenity.)
