    It’s been years since I’ve stayed in a hotel, but the last time I did they 100% advertised a continental breakfast. Got my ass out of bed way too early to grab myself a bite… it was one of those clear plastic shelving things with a few boxes worth of individually wrapped Little Debbie’s muffins dumped in it.

    And a pot of coffee, which tasted a bit like fish… which I’m assuming means it was Folgers.

    Idr the band of hotel, but it was one of the big chains you see all over the place, not some one-off sketchy backwoods business.

    I really wanted a waffle from one of those one-at-a-time griddle things. Q_Q

        they definitely didn’t stay at a Hilton property, sounds like they caught a night at a Red Roof Inn or similar. I’ve never stayed at a Hilton that didn’t have breakfast service in the morning.

      I stayed at one once that offered a few granola bars and maybe some fruit. If you didn’t grab them quick enough it was gone and the staff wouldn’t replenish them.

        Bro is this USA stuff? I stayed in many, many hotels in Europe and Latin America and the absolute worst I had were pieces of toast with butter, cheese, coffee, orange juice, tea, and fruits. And that was a shady backwater hotel.

          i guess lol. america is the great innovator. it’s just the the only innovations that are being invested in are “how do we squeeze people more while spending less” America is cutting edge on that front.

      Maybe Avid? There are some of them that just have pre-heated Jimmy Dean biscuit sandwiches and some muffins and fruits. Although the last one I’ve been to was relatively new and they had fresh scrambled eggs and sausages.

      It’s the Holiday Inn Express ones that usually have bacon, depending on the location.
