| - I wish I could say something better about Whitesides. I know, it's a restaurant in a hotel, what can you expect?
Quite a lot, actually. Unfortunately, it didn't really hold up. I will say that the staff were all, without exception, extremely friendly and courteous.
The breakfasts here are pretty standard, with a selection of buffet items like pancakes, French toast, bacon, sausage, cereals and breads/bagels/muffins, fruits, an omelet station, etc. Everything was just about as expected. Meaning, if you've been to a breakfast buffet at another mid-level hotel, this will all look quite familiar.
I ate dinner here once, ordering the special for that day. It was a 10 oz. NY Strip that came with a salad, veggies, and french fries. The steak was cooked to an exact medium well, which would have been great except for the fact that I had ordered it medium rare. The vegetables (sliced carrot, broccoli, and cauliflower) were okay but a little undercooked, and the fries were... just... fries. Oddly, they had put down a bed of french fries on the plate and then kind of just tossed the steak on top of it.
When all is said and done, I can say that nothing that I had here was outright bad. It just didn't hold up to the pricing ($26 for the dinner, $20 each day for the breakfast; thankfully the breakfasts were included in my quote for the room).
