    Isn’t it usually like 10am? If you can’t be fucked to get free food that’s on you.

      The 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.

        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

              I’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 until 9 or 10, there’s rarely anything left if you arrive close to the end (or anything that you’d want to eat)

        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.

            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.

        No hotel anywhere only serves breakfast for one hour. Nice try though.

          I 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.

              What a friendly and reasonable response.

              Wow! Lying on the Internet is easy!

              edit: it’s hard to tell on Fedia which comment I actually ended up replying to, but it was directed at db2 if I messed it up

      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.
