Top Reasons To Hate Hotel Breakfast Bars
Are we even sure it’s the most important meal of the day at these places?
When we first started traveling with our kids many years ago, we sought out hotels with breakfast bars because they just made sense. They allowed us to save money on the first meal of the day, we could eat quickly without having to wait in long lines for a table and my son could make DIY waffles. In fact, he rated the quality of most hotels on whether or not he could make waffles. The lodging could be in the worst section of town with hustlers in the parking lot, sagging beds and a questionable pool, but would still get a high rating if it had a usable waffle iron. To this day, he can still polish off at least one waffle, an omelette of any size, a bowl of cereal and whatever else happens to be in his path in one sitting and then come back and ask “What’s for breakfast?” And, if we played our cards right, we might even be able to pack a bagel and cream cheese for lunch later in the day.
