Aloft by Marriott Sarasota
"Our breakfast was included for an additional fee, I will say that it will make a difference to serve a bigger portion of fruit 4oz cup instead of 2oz or add a fruit bar or a parfait yogurt bar. The portion is small, for me was ok, but for my 15 year old son or husband was a small portion."
