Cold and old was the buffet breakfast theme this morning.
Let's start with what was good.. the pancake machine and tinned peaches. At least I could tell these items were fresh.
The rest was borderline depressing for a large hotel chain's breakfast offerings. Is someone reusing last night's dinner for today's breakfast?, because that is the vibe I got. The offerings are just odd and not done well at all. Carrots in the mushrooms Kransky in some strange vegetation mix Uncooked tomatoes 🍅 What looked like last night's dry old noodles. Dumplings undercooked and oily. Not only did these offerings taste sad, they also were cold.. not even at safe food temp which I feel is pretty easy to accomplish.

Squid was a little undercooked, 5 small pieces for $18 is insane. Overall spent $80 and throughly disappointed and regretting...
Read moreI got the MSA graded angus porterhouse with Argentinian chimichurri salsa served with mashed potatoes or chips and garden salad or seasonal vegetables and jus or mushroom gravy for $34 dollars.
The steak was tough and chewy not Angus beef at all. I ordered the steak to be cooked just under medium rare, what I got was a steak cooked medium well done a dry piece of meat cooked by someone with below amateur bbq steak skills. The chips were ok but the salad was very low class like something out of a caravan park or worse. The sauce was good.
My advice don’t order...
