The evening of and morning front desk staff were friendly and efficient. A woman, D., who checked us in went out of her way to find us the one item we really wanted after our long hot day. Hot black tea! Thank you so much. The room was clean and modern with great bed linens, cotton and fresh and clean. The breakfast gets one star out of five. It is not up to the standard we have come to expect from HI. It was no different from what the less expensive chain hotels serve. Why pay the higher cost when the breakfast is what you get at most Days Inn, La Quinta, etc? The only fresh fruit was apples and some very old bananas, two of which were badly bruised and completely mushy inside. Only two cold cereals, one very sugary. When the little tubs of yoghurt ran out, the employee would put out only three or four more. Everything about this breakfast was penny pinching. Lowest possible cost, and it showed. The staff person in the breakfast area was unhelpful, uncommunicative and did not make eye contact when l spoke to her. She was basically grumpy. I don’t know is this experience points to trend in breakfasts at HI or if this particular hotel is an anomaly. Would NOT return, the breakfast was very disappointing.
