Breakfast

On the positive side, some diners have praised the meals served at the rooftop lounge and specifically mentioned that breakfast at the JJ Astor restaurant within the hotel was particularly good. Guests appreciated the quality of the breakfast when it was available, highlighting the great harbor views from the dining area.

However, several reviews revealed significant drawbacks. Many guests were disappointed by the lack of complimentary breakfast with some even reporting that despite advertisements, no breakfast was provided due to staffing shortages or other reasons, such as COVID-19 restrictions. Issues with service were also frequently noted with long wait times and inattentive staff being common complaints. Some guests even recounted negative experiences with the morning crew’s attitude and prolonged waits without service, causing them to leave.

Adding to the frustrations, the absence of breakfast during the week and closures of the restaurant at times when breakfast was expected left guests unsatisfied. Miscommunications regarding whether breakfast was included in the stay, along with additional charges, further detracted from the overall experience. The unavailability of food service and the lack of coffee in the lobby compounded these inconveniences, leading many to search for nearby alternatives.

In summary, while the hotel has the potential to offer a delightful breakfast experience with its good-quality food and scenic views, logistical and service-related issues currently detract from its overall appeal.

The overall dining ambiance is frequently described as amazing and a notable feature of the hotel.

However, there is a call for improvements as some guests encountered issues such as limited food options, early closures and occasional service lapses. Some experiences were marred by issues such as food containing plastic or the restaurant not being open for breakfast.
