Huntingdon Hotel and Suites
I love the breafast at Huntington Hotel. The buffet style allows you to get started right away and the food is always hot and fresh. The staff are very attentive, helpful and friendly. The hotel's proximity to downtown is perfect. You can walk 12 minutes and be in Bastion square or Chinatown.

Hotel Grand Pacific
Fathom is a good restaurant for breakfast and dinner. Disappointed that the pool is now crowded by club members, and a sign up board is now used for lap swimmers.
