    Breakfast was very, very simple. Just 5 choices of fruits (not fresh), 2 breads, milk and juice. They opened on time, 5:30 am. At least until 6 am, there were no choice of hot food.
    Very disappointing.

    The Centurion Lounge at LGA is excellent and the staff is fantastic. People like Adrienne great you upon entering with a welcoming smile and always has a great attitude. I would strongly recommend this to any travelers.
