New owners no buffet due to COVID but I feel they could have done muffins or bagels and coffee to go for each person. Would be cheaper than buffet in the long run. We love to come here but I’m disappointed with new ownership. Old owners always let us check in early but new owners wanted to charge a fee- shame on them!
