The Picard ManeuverYou're not allowed to be lazy on your vacation
db2Isn’t it usually like 10am? If you can’t be fucked to get free food that’s on you.
Admiral PatrickThe last time I stayed at a hotel, they stopped filling the breakfast bar at like 7 and served whatever was left until 9.
I used to travel for work quite a bit, and that one had one of the more generous breakfast offerings.
Was it a Super8 or Motel 6? I bet it was. No place that offers breakfast and is also worth staying at at any price does that. On the bright side you now know where not to go.
When I traveled for work, we mostly used Mariott or Hyatt or occasionally Holiday Inn. Not much choice when you have to stay wherever the company has an account. The one I described above was Mariott.
Depending on the assignment, I often had to work nights, so “just get up earlier” wasn’t really an option.
I don’t think Motel 6 or Super 8 serve Continental breakfast.
Continental breakfast is a child size box of cereal, a little carton of milk and a piece of fruit. That’s it. They put it out on a folding table.
Your company sent you to some shit hotels then. I think the earliest breakfast end time I’ve been to is 8am, and that one was a bit more expensive than the others. Most hotels I stay at serve breakfast until 10am.
Serve until 10, but do they keep putting out new food until then? The ones I’m used to serve until 9 but don’t put out any new food after 7.
Oh, if that’s what you mean then fair enough. A lot of the places I’ve been to stop cooking at around 8, so 2 hours under heat is fine imo
ddittyI’m not the person you are replying to, but my experience has been that they don’t make any new food after ~8AM and most of the good stuff is pilfered before then, so although they serve u til 9 or 10, there’s rarely anything left if you arrive close to the end
Last hotel I stayed at that actually served breakfast was 6am-7am.
No hotel anywhere only serves breakfast for one hour. Nice try though.
IrremarkableI really hate to break it to you, but I was at one last summer that had the same hours.
Just because you haven't experienced it doesn't mean it's not real.
Yeah it does though. It’s called lying on the internet which you’re doing.
It was the best western “glo” hotel in desoto texas, in 2021.
I tried looking up official information on the hotel but all it says anywhere is that they serve breakfast, not the hours.
So next I tried looking at reviews, most of which don’t say anything about the official breakfast hours, but some comment that if you’re not at the breakfast bar early they stock it once and then take it down when it’s empty, so regardless of given hours my experience was accurate.
Some did quote supposed breakfast hours they were given, with varying times of 6-10, 6-11, 6-8 or something else, but mostly in the context of complaining that indeed, if you’re not there in the first hour, you’re going to have to settle for dry bagels or nothing at all.
I was told 6-7 by the front desk upon check-in. I don’t recall seeing a sign or anything written.
Now, this was a really weird hill you chose to die on, but you got me to do more digging into a 2-day hotel stay from theee years ago on my lunch break, so I suppose you can be proud of yourself.
What a friendly and reasonable response.
Wow! Lying on the Internet is easy!
10 is late for most of them - 9 is pretty common. If you’re at the kind of vacation place where you’re hanging out and relaxing, maybe staying up late, waking up at 8 so you can get ready and get down to eat breakfast, doesn’t feel like last relaxing, which is OP’s point. Of course people can do it, but a lot of times we want to sleep in on vacation.
The trick is to get food and then go back to sleeping in, but with a full belly
I wish I could, but once I’m awake enough to be up, that’s it for me.
Impossible to fall asleep an hour after waking up.
Seems like it used to be 10, but everywhere I’ve been in recent years is 11.
Gradually_AdjustingIf you’re not maniacally ripping every minute of theoretical fun out of your vacation with an insane timetable that begins at 0500, you’re probably rich enough that your dietician has you fasting intermittently.
Why do you need a dietician to run an IF protocol?
You will not find that I have said so. Hope this message finds you comfortably hungover and ten-fingered this Roswell Day
dohpaz42If you have to ask, then you’re one of those … Poor People ™. 🧐
Or you’re rich enough to afford breakfast from anywhere you want.
Hotel breakfasts tend to be more expensive than eating out.
Or they’re free.
Also there’s a linux distro in development names Aux you know!
That’s the conundrum - for many people anything that follows a timetable is not fun per definition.
I am thinking about it the other way around. Most people consider vacations as a chance to get rest, because they are working starting 5 in the morning for the rest of the year.
Lol I never got this.
I guess most normal people wake up pretty early, even on vacation.
A lot of people who are staying at those hotels and bothering with the continental breakfast are there for work, not vacation.
Most continental breakfasts I’ve seen run from 6-9AM and I’ve always interpreted it as a sneaky tactic hotels use to usher guests quickly out the door given that standard checkout time is usually 11AM.
That and I think the people getting breakfast that early are on a business trip rather than on vacation
There are two types of hotels: those who serve early breakfasts because most of their clients are early birds, and all inclusives where most of the clients are night owls. You’re just staying at the wrong type of hotel.
SotuandusoNever got the breakfast, or…?
Honestly it’s never worth it.
Maybe I’m in a fortunate position. But I have never been to a place where breakfast was as good as an average cafe.
From my experience: If Hotel A and Hotel B were pretty identical the same but for $20 more, you get all you can eat breakfast, don’t bother. Just buy breakfast.
Possibly linuxYou clearly weren’t paying enough. Some of those hotels are 200 a night minimum
SanctusYou got me fucked up if I’m waking up early on my master approved break from wage slaving. I’m waking up at noon and I’m having a bowl for breakfast.
Bowl of peanut butter crunch.
After ripping a steamroller of course
ripping a steamroller across your favorite shirt.
After getting high of course
high up in the hotel because the club level has a better breakfast
After smoking marijuana of course
The smoked marinara dipping sauce is a regional favorite, complementary offered at all meals to the hotel’s guests.
The gnc flavors of vitamins go well with a healthy bowl of fresh fruit for your daily nutritional and fiber needs.
After freebasing an eight-ball of crack cocaine of course.
Freeshotting the 8-ball without cracking the pool table cloth.
After smoking a blunt while listening to Bob Marley of course.
Our vacation days generally consist of stalking the area for good food and doing tourist-y things to fill the time between meals. My partner’s favorite thing to do during vacation downtime is to find more restaurants and cafes in the area for the next day, so hotel food is never a factor.
“Vacation is basically just eating at different locations.”
atomicorangeCity vacations: restaurant hunting
Nature vacations: grueling 6am deathmarch #87
Beach vacations: binge drinking and washing sand out of things
I don’t know where everyone is staying but I normally get a choice of single serve cereal bowls, bagels with maybe 3 types of spread, some type of juice, coffee, milk, and occasionally a selection of fruit. Everything is served with cheap plastic or cardboard not silverware, glass, cloth or ceramic.
I honestly wouldn’t know because they clean that shit up at 9:30.
I have never seen a hotel breakfast that wasn't being put away by 9am.
Do people eat breakfast past 7am
Do people wake up before 7am?
Do people wake up before 7am … on vacation???
Don’t you have some soil to till?
I eat breakfast between 12-14h. After I went to bed at 6.
Breakfast is when you wake up, it doesn’t have a specific time.
Pretty much everywhere without “inn” in the name has at least reconstituted egg foam, bacon, and sausage.
I went to a 3-star hotel that was also doing this. Their free breakfast also includes eggs that came from a carton.
That would be a continental breakfast. What’s shown in the picture is closer to an English breakfast
