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.
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.
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.
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.
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
If 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.
Lol I never got this.
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.
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.
You 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.

After getting high of course
high up in the hotel because the club level’s breakfast has an omelette station.
After smoking marijuana 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.
