Breakfast
The breakfast offerings at Hotel Hanna have been met with mixed reviews with many guests expressing dissatisfaction with the limited selection available. Common complaints include a lack of variety, minimal fresh fruit and an absence of healthy options or basic breakfast staples such as bagels, eggs or orange juice. Some felt the continental breakfast provided has deteriorated to a bare minimum, often consisting of only cereal, toast and waffles. Guests have mentioned that the breakfast area can be dirty and that the quality of items like prepackaged sausage sandwiches and frozen bagels left much to be desired. Additionally, the breakfast service was said to close too early for some guests.

Despite these criticisms, a few guests did note that the free breakfast was better than nothing and some enjoyed the waffles. Nevertheless, the general consensus is that the breakfast is minimalist and could benefit significantly from offering more variety and better quality items. In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, some reviews noted that the grab-and-go breakfast options were understandable but still found them lacking in taste and appeal. Overall, the hotel’s breakfast did not meet the expectations of many guests looking for a more robust morning meal.
