Agreed. The location was great. Taking the shuttle bus more than doubled the time it took, actually, as they didn't seem to ever want to go right there...

We would have liked a place where our team could have congregated, instead of having our team pizza dinner in the hallway outside the elevator.

We ate at various area restaurants, and for non-food meetings, usually congregated by the pools. The only problem was that we met rather late, so we had to try to keep things down -- we applauded a couple times, drawing angry stares from windows. But for quiet meetings, it seemed to work fairly well.

The package breakfast was the same every morning - scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes, biscuit - no substitutions allowed.

Sunday's breakfast was nice -- pancakes, etc. I think they broke out something else new (vaguely resembling mashed potatoes, they described it with a heavy accent as something that sounded like "grapes," although that's clearly not what it was). Admittedly not much of a change, though.

After getting past the language barrier (don't take that as some sort of derogatory comment or anything, it's just that they didn't seem to understand us too well), one of my friends managed to get 3 biscuits (nothing else) every morning.

I usually just got what they had (minus the eggs), and then purchased a box of Krispy Kremes (despite their insane cost) at the Reliant Center. Talk about good. Except that the $4.25 ($4.75?) box of donuts led for me to want a $3.75 bottle of soda... But Mr. Pibb and Krispy Kreme (two great things we in New Hampshire are deprived of) ended up making a great breakfast, even when they cost about $8 combined.
