They ran out of everything. From bagels to pizza, steak, coleslaw and breakfast sandwiches. Everyday it was a surprise! They food was very expensive and was mediocre at best. Very disappointed.

I really liked the Night Manager, a very kind lady, and very willing to help. Our room was clean. There were snacks available. The continental breakfast included waffles, egg omlet, link sausage, oatmeal, juices, coffee, etc. The Comfort was a very welcoming place to stay.
