New England Center Will Serve Continental Breakfast for Guests Beginning July 7
Beginning July 7, 2009, the New England Center Hotel and Conference Center will no longer be open for hot breakfast in the restaurant. A continental breakfast will be available for hotel guests in the lobby of the hotel.
The center’s award-winning dining will continue to be available for lunch and dinner, as well as Sunday brunch from 10 a.m.-1 p.m.
“Like any business we continually review our services and offerings,” said David May, assistant vice president of business affairs at UNH. “With overall business down the numbers no longer justify the expense of providing a breakfast service every day. This move will allow us to redirect our limited resources to more strategic services.”
