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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Do people wake up before 7am?

Do people wake up before 7am ... on vacation???

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

I like breakfast around 10-10:30, +/-, so yeah.

Don’t you have some soil to till?

[–] Honytawk 1 points 5 months ago

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 every hotel 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.

You forgot the waffle/ pancake machine.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

That would be a continental breakfast. What's shown in the picture is closer to an English breakfast

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

The US doesn't have anything called an English breakfast outside of restaurants which specifically cater to that. Aside from what looks like quiche, that looks like a pretty standard continental breakfast.

Holy fuck you guys have low expectations for a continental breakfast 😂

4-5 star hotels in Europe tend to serve quality food in a decent tableware.

[–] Honytawk 1 points 5 months ago

1-3 star hotels do as well

I think good hotel breakfast peaks at the middle of the price curve.

I stayed at a La Quinta by Portland airport and they had pancakes, Belgian waffle machines with butter and syrup, biscuits, bacon, eggs, cereal, fruit, juice... For a $115 a night room.

I've stayed at the Four Seasons in Chicago and they had bread and juice.

  • 3 kinds of bread rolls
  • 2 types of bread to cut by yourself
  • Also soft, crustless, white bread (aka toast)
  • Butter and 3 kinds of cream cheese
  • 4-10 types of cheese
  • 4-8 types of cold cut meats
  • 3 jams/jellies
  • Honey
  • Nutella
  • Liver pâté
  • Scrambled or boiled egg
  • 1 type fried sausage
  • 1-3 types of Müsli (cereal mix with oats and nuts or fruits)
  • 2-3 types of box cereal (the sweet kind like fruit loops)
  • Yoghurt plain and fruit-flavoured
  • Quark dessert
  • Canned fruit mix
  • Fresh fruit
  • Croissants or muffins or Madeleines
  • optional waffles or pancakes
