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")
  • Yogurt
  • Bagles, English muffins, and toast
  • Cinnamon rolls
  • Muffin

    Taking it easy means waking up around 10 and hitting the lobby at 11 or 12 for breakfast. Also 8 is literally sunrise depending on location/time of year

    If you're expecting a breakfast buffet at lunch time, you have some odd expectations.

    And yes, 8 is often still dark, but work doesn't change their start time for the sun.

    However, I do understand the pains of the late risers. Having breakfast pre-made, ready when you wake up is very nice, no matter the time.

    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.

    Why the fuck are you sharing this information?

    Why shouldn't they? O.o

    I mean, it's pretty on topic?

    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.
