We come from the south but I thought I pass on what we do. We always find a Holiday Inn Express. Usually the hotels are new and they all have continental breakfasts. Their spreads vary(give or take a few things) depending on the size of the hotel but we have not been disappointed yet. It saves money and hassle of having to leave your hotel to go eat somewhere else or the hassle of bringing your own food for 1 meal, especially if kids are in tow. HTH
