"Breakfast buffet was truly a disappointment. It's 2 years since I've returned. I was so eager to experience my annual, usual morning delight, but ended up asking for management and walked out with only a banana From the get go, they are no longer with Open Table, that says a lot. Sat at my favorite booth across from the buffet, they had hand sanitizers and plastic gloves available. Walked into the buffet room and it was eerily quiet. No omelette station, no one around, staff or guests. Food was limited, dry cereals were piled on top shelves where you could not see what they were unless you grabbed each one to bring it down and read them. Hot Oatmeal looked like yesterdays dry soup. Potatoes were dry and weirdly colored so several ppl who walked in wondered what it was, sweet potato? It was the only potato, fried till it looked like it would crumble if I picked it up. Sausage links were worse, so dry and shrunken, did they forget to take this plate off when they shut down 2 years ago from Covid? Scrambled eggs were the only choice eggs and it was the usual lumped together from sitting so long, I have seen at cheap hotels long ago. They still had an hour before shutting down breakfast. I took a risk and tried eating, desperate and time crunched.... Everything was cold. I mean cold . Waited so long for a server, just wanted water and juice, got up and walked back to the front to ask for a server from the receptionist. You think it's a staff shortage problem? No, not from what i saw, there was plenty around, plus bussers , always 2 ppl in the front to greet. I threw in the towel, napkin in this case, shortly after. Walked out to the front to talk with the manager. Not as angry as disappointed. I used to eat here twice a day when I stayed! It was so good! I would return for dinner I talked to the manager nicely and challenged her to walk over to the buffet area and eat something, So much was inedible. She was of course welcoming of my comments. Too bad they don't have any competition in this area, skipping breakfast for a couple days, then will walk to look at the buffet food before sitting down. You should too."
