I have stayed at the Best Western, formally Country Inn Dorado, many times throughout the years. They used to have a Very Nice breakfast, but the last 2 times I was there, they were serving hot hardboiled eggs as the only choice and some meat concoction. There are other choices in hotels that provide a Much Better Breakfast. I have found another hotel at the same price range with a choice of Pancakes, scrambled eggs and other varieties of breakfast treats, plus a lady making eggs, omelets to Your Liking, with a view of the city.
