Something about the breakfast at Days Inn and Suites, Antioch

 
The Breakfast area is superb here. Complimentary breakfast includes Waffles, two different kinds of breads,
danish, fruits, coffee, and much more. Light breakfast for a better start. The area is clean and since the property is Non smoking it feels fresh to start the day and head to any work. The staff is very cordial, it feels like we are at home.
