Why would I spend the time and money on a vacation just to waste it on being lazy? I can do that at home. On vacation I'm up before sunrise, take a shower, and grab breakfast before I start my itinerary for the day.

You can also maximize your time sleeping in too. Stay out and have fun on the town, head back to the hotel at 3am. Some people are night owls, some people like mornings. Nothing wrong with either.

Personally waking up before sunrise feels awful for my body and brain function, but I get it.

We have different vacation philosophies. Mornings are nebulous unplanned times for everyone to do what they want like sleeping in, relaxing by the pool, getting brunch at a nice place, and light sight seeing. I usually don't have scheduled goals/events for the day until afternoons and evenings while on vacation. I can't enjoy being somewhere new if I'm too burnt out and exhausted to participate and experience it properly.

The worst breakfast I ever had was at a Courtyard Marriott that was under renovation. Since then, I made a policy to find the best local breakfast diner any place I went, even if the hotel breakfast was included.

Haven't regretted it once.

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.

I love how they call it a continental breakfast like it's supposed to be fancy but everybody on earth actually wants an English breakfast

They call it continental because it's in the style of what is served on the (European) continent.

what I mean to say is, I think they choose a continental breakfast because it sounds fancy and is cheap. not that they made up the word Continental for it

Most hotels outside the US and Canada actually do a legit good breakfast. Not this cheap carb garbage they do in the States.

I was given a piece of toast and an orange when I went to a hotel breakfast in the UK. In Germany, I think they laughed at me when I asked if breakfast was included.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

dude, refrigerators aren't included when you rent apartments in Germany.

I love it when the breakfast is hot water and instant oatmeal

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

That's honestly better than most continental breakfasts.

It's because they don't want to give out free food (but want to make it seem like they do want to give out free food), so they will make it available only when people are less likely to go for it.
