the breakfast was a notable letdown. the restaurant was closed, so breakfast was in the club room upstairs. it took almost an hour for poached eggs on toast with avocado, and the restaurant was not even busy. when the breakfast finally arrived, it was missing the eggs. this delay was unacceptable for an hotel of this caliber!!!
