Omelet at hotel is better than at home
I'm a boiled egg person. I love hotel breakfasts, but not for the eggs. terrible boiled eggs, mediocre scramble, always.
But a buffet with croissants and bacon and various choices? count me in
What’s not to love about print-on-demand pancakes?
Holy shit there's a pancake printer?
Blud they can print guns these days
At which hotels are you staying?
They had an armed hostage situation at the Orange County Marriott the last time I was there. I was like "is it safe to go up to my room?" And the cops were like "yeah the dude's a pussy he's not going to do shit."
So why weren't the cops up there then?
Lmao
These things are absolutely not a replacement for waffle machines. They barely cook the pancake all the way and the batter often has a rubbery texture worse than any store-bought mix. Also you can easily make better pancakes at home.
Meanwhile, hotel waffles are crunchy on the outside with a soft interior and malty flavor thanks to the big heavy specialized waffle makers. They taste much more fresh, and most importantly you can't make them at home without the expensive specialized equipment. Home waffle makers just don't have the same mass of heated metal to get the same results.
I actively avoid Holiday Inn Express for business travel because of these things. I prefer the breakfast at many Quality Inns which are often 1/3 the price. Hampton Inn does it right with waffles and two flavors of batter nationwide.
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!
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!
As a not-morning person who loves breakfast food, I'm with you 110%
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.
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.
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.
Probably because they charge you extra for breakfast and know full well most people won't be up in time for it.
No way in hell you're getting me up for breakfast at 7AM on holiday
So nobody cares that this dude sleeps at home without any pillow case? no duvet cover? i bet he's also raw dogging his mattress without any sheets. are you out of your mind? whats wrong with you?
Do I care how a random person sleeps in their own house?
No, no I don't.
Me at hotel breakfast: ugh everything sucks, half a kilo of bacon it is!
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
FWIW I've never seen a Hampton Inn without at least one waffle maker.
they definitely didn't stay at a Hilton property, sounds like they caught a night at a Red Roof Inn or similar. I've never stayed at a Hilton that didn't have breakfast service in the morning.
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.
Hotel breakfast is mediocre at best unless you're in an Embassy, a Garden Inn, or a Doubletree- those places prepare you fresh food. I've had some good experiences at Residence Inn as well, won't complain about them either. It's just that after you stay in a hotel for 46 weeks in a year for work, it gets kind of old pretty quickly- no matter how nice the hotel may be.
I hated business travel until I had a suite for the first time. Just having a couch and a table with chairs made all the difference in the world. I would just come back to my suite and get high and surf the web - no different than being at home except I didn't have my cats with me. If they combined a suites hotel with a cat cafe, I would probably just sell my house and stay on the road full time.
Obligatory Key & Peele - Continental Breakfast.
I use "I'll have what I'm having!" all the time
I love that water with the faint orange tint. Worth the price of the room all by itself.
Seriously though, the waffle iron is pretty cool when it isn't out of order.
This is a repost of mine! You need to pay me 10000000000000$
I only have three
Only 9,999,999,999,997 to go!
This lasts until you travel for work a few times per month and then that shit starts to make you gag.
Most hotels I've been to have milk and oat meal too, basically what I'd get an average day. Nah I've been fine with hotel breakfast even travelling for work, pretty much the same shit I eat at home and then some occasional candy like food like waffles and pancakes.
Oh man. I was staying in a hotel for PAX-South. We loved the breakfast but by 3rd day it was like....ugh, wtf is this shit?!
Totally get this for sure.
I always assumed this is because of jet lag making me hungry and sleepy at weird hours because I'm so rarely in a hotel unless I'm in a different time zone. Does this happen to people when they are in a nearby hotel, too?
Yes, even when I fly to +5 timezone, I'll be there for breakfast!
Lmao, and it's not even something special, yet our body will just say "whelp time to breakfast".
9 am on a workday, 7 am on a day off
What is he sleeping on? Looks metal.
