You’ll find some granola and dried fruits (apricots, raisins, prunes), along with some fresh fruit (oranges, bananas, grapes, apples and pineapple). You’ll also find some of the fruit medley which is mostly cantaloupe, honeydew, pineapple and grapes.

You’ll also find some fresh juice – like Orange, Apple and Grapefruit. They have some boxed cereal as well.

In the cold section, you’ll find yogurt, smoked salmon, capers, red onions, sliced cheeses, canned diced pineapples, some mixed greens, potato salad, pasta salad, canned oranges, cottage cheese, olives, sun dried tomatoes, sliced meats and cucumbers.

In the hot section, you’ll find eggs benedict, bacon, sausage, grilled vegetables, mini quiche, turkey bacon, omelettes, hash browns, French toast.

They also had Asian food – including congee, hot milk, spring rolls, dim sum items like hau gau and siu mai, along with stir fried noodles, Chinese donuts, boiled soy eggs and green beans.

They have oatmeal, baked beans and a pastry area that included toast, bagels, mini croissants, muffins, cinnamon rolls and donuts.

They have a self-serve waffle station and a build your own omelette station where you pick your toppings.

The buffet is a good way to start your day if you’re staying at the hotel. The variety is ok. It’s nice to see some Asian dishes, but overall pretty standard breakfast food. I think they could spice it up a bit by maybe having different themes or offer something unique. But, if you’re looking for a standard, continental type-breakfast, this might be for you.
