The breakfast typically includes items such as coffee, granola bars, apples, small prepackaged muffins and sometimes yogurt or juice. However, many found these offerings basic and unappealing with some even describing them as non-existent or woeful. The selection mainly consists of dry muffins, granola bars and fruits in a brown bag. Some guests noted that the breakfast didn’t meet their expectations and suggested that it barely qualifies as a meal. A few appreciated the convenience and practicality of a to-go breakfast, but the consensus indicates that there is room for improvement in this area.
