Hotel breakfast is fire fr
-
It's been years since I've stayed in a hotel, but the last time I did they 100% advertised a continental breakfast. Got my ass out of bed way too early to grab myself a bite... it was one of those clear plastic shelving things with a few boxes worth of individually wrapped Little Debbie's muffins dumped in it.
And a pot of coffee, which tasted a bit like fish... which I'm assuming means it was Folgers.
Idr the band of hotel, but it was one of the big chains you see all over the place, not some one-off sketchy backwoods business.
I really wanted a waffle from one of those one-at-a-time griddle things. Q_Q
Maybe Avid? There are some of them that just have pre-heated Jimmy Dean biscuit sandwiches and some muffins and fruits. Although the last one I’ve been to was relatively new and they had fresh scrambled eggs and sausages.
It’s the Holiday Inn Express ones that usually have bacon, depending on the location.

Omelet at hotel is better than at home
What’s not to love about print-on-demand pancakes?

I've never travelled out of my timezone and yes it still happens.

Lmao, and it's not even something special, yet our body will just say "whelp time to breakfast".
Maybe in the US it's not something special

In Malaysia, unless you went for fancy 5stars hotel, it's nothing special as well, but we still wake up early for the breakfast.

No way in hell you're getting me up for breakfast at 7AM on holiday

I stayed at one once that offered a few granola bars and maybe some fruit. If you didn’t grab them quick enough it was gone and the staff wouldn’t replenish them.

Seriously though, I'm here for vacation. Why you expecting me up so early!? There needs to be a hotel where the free breakfast lasts until noon. Even McDonalds is 11!
I think they want you out of the room early, so they can get it ready for the next guest. I don't like it either, but I can see the logic.

Bro is this USA stuff? I stayed in many, many hotels in Europe and Latin America and the absolute worst I had were pieces of toast with butter, cheese, coffee, orange juice, tea, and fruits. And that was a shady backwater hotel.

wrote last edited by [email protected]that probably went i, a not morning person, have anyways felt like hotels want to push me out of bed.
as a lifelong second-third shifter i would pay 3 times as much for ANY HOTEL that can accommodate me wanting to sleep during the day. moving across the country and not wrecking my work sleep schedule is impossible exclusively because all hotels want me to check in 4 hours past my bedtime. so either I'm buying an extra day off noisy bad sleep, or I'm just not sleeping for a day.
as much as they suck for other reasons and have enshittified beyond usability; this was what air b&b was great for. hotels were and now are again an industry that's very stuck in its ways and NEEDS disrupting. they need to to live "normally" for them to work.

wrote last edited by [email protected]yeah but if i stay there for a week why do I have to get up early every day?
They can simply say "please leave your room at ?? AM on the day of your departure" and I'll do it.

Holy shit there's a pancake printer?

FWIW I've never seen a Hampton Inn without at least one waffle maker.

There is a lot to be said about even deeply mediocre food straight out of bed.
But if hotel omelettes are better than yours... Y'all need more Kenji in your life.
Clearly you've never been to hotel that has an egg chef at the buffet. Eggs cooked to perfection on demand.
That said, everyone needs more Kenji in their life!

wrote last edited by [email protected]Again, if you can't beat someone who has been dealing with a couple dozen people AND their kids all rushing the counter to watch someone operate a 3 pan pipeline... it doesn't take much effort. Nonstick pans are the cheat mode of eggs but there is a lot to be said about enough butter that even a Frenchman will give you the side eye.
I've definitely dined at some in-hotel restaraunts that were damned amazing. But a general rule of thumb is that if you can see the chef cooking (and it isn't a hole in the wall where the floors are sticky), you are getting chain restaurant food. Part of that is because they fundamentally can't let pans get hot enough (people get pissy when they see an open pan) so everything is non-stick and cooking spray and just a bit oily tasting. Part of it is also that they can't use the "secret ingredients" like MSG or fish sauce or whatever because, at best, it leads to questions from the lookiloos and, at worst, it leads to aggressive racism. Same with the eggs. You either have everything pre-beaten (which often means it was powdered to begin with...) or you just get a quick mix because, again, you can't have empty pans when there is a queue. Same with dicing onions and peppers versus pre-dicing (again, often frozen) and tossing with a preservative so they won't oxidize. And while I've noticed a shift over the past decade or so (I weirdly credit Brooklyn 99), even something like a salt cellar is hit or miss because most people don't realize that salt is inherently anti-microbial so it is fine to finger it and that you can't season from a shaker.
Don't get me wrong. I am right there with the crowd to get some avocado toast in an Admiral's Club. That shit is good. But you are also always fundamentally looking at something that isn't that hard to beat.
And there is a lot to be said about making your own omelettes... or making omelettes for the person who let you do stuff to them last night.
