    All the hotels i ever stay in anymore don’t have a restaurant or a bar just bare bones. I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express once and it had a pancake machine

      Holiday Inn Express is the most miserable breakfast I’ve ever had in a hotel. The selection was basically lard with sugar on it, and whatever drink you chose tasted of chlorine.

      I’m normally not much of a breakfast person, but work had booked me in at HIE once, and as I had a long day ahead I had to force myself to eat something. And the selection available didn’t exactly make it easier.

      After that I always make sure to book the hotel myself. I’m not that picky in terms of hotel, as long as the eatery is decent.

        Yeah, uh… Don’t know how to say this, but if your water smells like chlorine, I don’t recommend drinking it. Might be ok for survival, but it’s definitely not for regular consumption.

      I like Drury Inns. They do have the standard “breakfast ends at 9:30” thing which sucks for late sleepers, but they also have a 5-7 pm “happy hour” with snacks and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks provided gratis. It’s a way to avoid paying for dinner if you can do it and you don’t care about your dinner being snacky stuff, but if you’re on vacation, let dinner be snacky stuff.
