Pretty much every holiday inn I stay at for work has had a decent breakfast. They run 6:30 to 9 and keeps things well stocked at least until 8 (I’m never there later)
They’ve all had the same “menu”, plus or minus a few things. They tend to rotate the hot items every otherday.
An omelet thing, cheese or veggie
Scrambled eggs
Home Frys
Gravey and bisket
Sausage and/or bacon
A 1-minute pancake machine that usually works…kind of
Ceareal
fruit
A juice machine
Coffe
Hot water
Hot cocoa packs
Tea pouches
Milk cartons (these are usually terrible, a lot are weird “organic” brands or “skimed to be 90% water”)
You’re not wrong but after having this exact breakfast at HIE and Hampton Inn about 50+ times, it’s crap. Bland and repetitive and usually cold but somehow over cooked or the most undercooked eggs/bacon.
My company always strongly recommends booking a room with breakfast included, but f that I’ll go find a $10 diner and have real bacon.
Many others in the thread talked about their hotels that give them a bagged egg and stale cereal, so I decided to share my relatively consistent experience with a hotel chain.
These forms are the last place for hopefully actual reviews/information.
The alternatives are ad-infected paid ‘reviews’ or a pile of google/yelp reviews that basically amount to “if I could give 0 stars I would because the hotel internet went down during a hurricane” or “10/10 recommend”
Is Holiday inn the cheapest option? no.
Is it possible I’ve just lucked out with the ones in my region? yes.
But clearly some people value breakfast at hotels, and I choose to share an option in detail.

Why the fuck are you sharing this information?
Why shouldn’t they? O.o
I mean, it’s pretty on topic?
It’s weird, I completely agree that’s it’s on topic but I also completely agree with questioning why he’s sharing this…
