Really good Breakfast Buffet

I was pleasantly surprised by the breakfast buffet at the Ivey Spencer Leadership Centre. It was one of the best I've experienced in Ontario, with hot, well-presented food and a wide variety of delicious options. The breakfast atmosphere was lively, and I felt excited to start my day with such a great meal.

The hotel is tucked away in a peaceful corner surrounded by nature, a perfect retreat close to the city center. The rooms were bright and comfortable, though a bit musty, could use at least a queen bed. The service was exceptional, handling a rebooking 'glitch' with care. Dining was good with varied options, but slightly overpriced. The location was literally 2 minutes from the hospital and excellent. Bernese sausages were a highlight in dining.
