I want to like The Bristlecone. I have stayed there for years. They have redone the rooms. I appreciate that effort. The thing I did not like this time is that the “breakfast” offering is getting less and less. It should not be called breakfast. It should be Coffee, juice and snacks. The last two visits two weeks apart the morning staff person might not be doing their job. On the first visit there was no milk for cereal. I was told that all the milk at the grocery store was almost expired so why buy it? On my return trip there was no fruit. I was told that all the fruit at the store was old and ugly. There seems to be a theme here. Also there was a hose laying across the walkway as I arrived and thought someone had been watering the plants. The desk clerk said she had seen but didn’t know what was going on. The hose was still there the next morning.
