Wish a bigger continental breakfast included rather than just a coffee bar. Was just in Spokane at Airport Hilton and included breakfast was amazing. That said we had a fire across the street, power outage for a bit, and the staff was wonderful and accommodating! We will be back to stay more often soon!
