Coffee, juice, and other beverages are available. The breakfast offering is practical for a quick start to the day, though some have noted that options can run low later in the morning. A variety of restaurants within a short walk provide alternatives for lunch and dinner - including pizza, Italian, burgers, Mexican, and fast food. The hotel has a vending machine for drinks.
