25$ for the breakfast is a steal since it has nothing special. Paying this price for a regular buffet is very disappointing. If there were a person that cook your eggs as you like, i would understand but for a buffet that has nothing exceptionnal, come on!!! We paid the first day, but for the two others we went to The Whole food market which is less then a block away. The Concierge was very helpful as he guided us correctly to where we wanted to go. And he was always smiling, so it started our days in a happy way.

I loved everything except that they don’t offer breakfast to everyone? They told us it wasn’t included in our package after telling us without us asking when they serve it.
