Nice.  New.  Clean.  Free cookies in the lobby.  No On-Demand TV, but a very lengthy list of cable channels.  The broadband got ripped out a year or so ago, but there&#8217;s a nice phone jack to let you dial out at 29K (assuming you have a working PC).<\/p>\n<p>And, let us not forget, the worst little self-service &#8220;breakfast bar&#8221; in the world.  Not that the foodstuffs were bad, it&#8217;s just that it was laid out poor, there wasn&#8217;t much room (or enough chairs), the selection was quite limited, and the little self-serve waffle maker insisted on taking half your waffle, off the top, as sacrifice to the waffle gods.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, someone at the office waxed eloquent about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.panerabread.com\">Panera Bread<\/a>.  Think of Starbucks (in decor), but with a bakery that does everything from yummy asiago bagettes to german chocolate danishes.
