Do you ever make it to hotel breakfast?

[Mocha]

Random thought, but as escorts (or clients) I imagine most of us are on later schedules than the multitudes, and especially later than people who wake up at 5 or 6 am.

 

I know hotel breakfast hours vary, but most are usually done by 9-930 am. 90% of the time I am too tired to actually wash up, put on clothes, and deal with other half woken people and their rambunctious kids in the vicinity....then gorge myself on food in the process. But then, when noon comes around and my appetite builds and I want breakfast, not lunch..I am so annoyed at myself. I've missed breakfasts at Residence Inns, Homewood suites, and I'm sure a host of other hotels...because I've been too comatose from the "hard" night before to get out the bed before they start packing it up at 9 am. Though, if it's 10 am I can usually catch it, and at 11 am I'm pretty sure I can catch it. Free breakfasts always end early

 

Im considering doing room service breakfast more often, but that can add up over dozens of hotel nights and not all hotels offer it.

Mocha, thanks for being washed and dressed before going for breakfast. Last month I was staying at a Marriott for a weekend and many of the guests had rolled out of bed and pulled on sweats and a pair of flip flops without even splashing water on their face.

I almost never make it to hotel breakfasts. In fact, I think their early end times are designed specifically to get people up, out of their rooms and checked out of the hotel earlier so that housekeeping has more time to turn over the rooms. Beyond that, the food is usually mediocre and the atmosphere is usually dreadful... I can't deal with screaming kids, especially before my morning caffeine.

 

If there is one nearby, I'd much prefer to pay $3-4 for a McDonalds breakfast than endure the "free" breakfast in a hotel.

[adannyboy]

For me, it depends on how successful that weekend was.

A slow night = I'll set an alarm, grab OJ, yogurt and a danish.

A good night = sleep in and buy a good ass meal.

[+ azdr0710]

if available in the lobby, I usually very quickly go grab a couple cups of coffee (yes, before cleaning/showering and wearing what I slept in) and bring them back to the room, having left the safety latch engaged so I only have to push on the door with my two hands full!....even if there's a coffee maker in the room....later, after getting properly dressed, I'll hit the free breakfast if it's not too carb-heavy.....

[mike carey]

I don't always wake up in time for the standard breakfast time at home, but if I'm in a hotel I tend to wake up, and get up to have breakfast. The more so if it's included in the tariff.

[Rudynate]

No hardly ever. The food is so crappy that it's not worth getting up for.

[mike carey]

On the subject of whether it is worth making it to a hotel breakfast (when it is included), I would say it always is worthwhile. Even if you only want some yogurt and fruit, you might as well use what the hotel has provided. If the hotel wants me to pay $20 on top of the room rate, sometimes I will go to Maccas but sometimes I will pay them what they ask, and have the lot!

[Nebost]

I always get breakfast, I'm an early morning person anyway, and I believe it's the most important meal of the day. I need my caffiene, and I can usually find some healthy protein , fruit and carbs

Once at the posh hotel in Boston a man showed up to the top floor conceirge room breakfast in an open shirt, shorts and bare feet. Normally I would consider quite uncouth, but this was one of the most beautiful men I had ever seen, he even had the most perfect feet. The average joe would look like a slob doing this, but just had this casual elegance about him that he did not have to follow normal standards. With total nonchalance he got his breakfast items, ate , then left. I tried not to stare or drool.

[RussJohnson]

I love hotel breakfasts when I have them included in the rate, and I will get up early to avoid the rush and children!

[Brian Kevin]

Ya'll can tell I aint missing no meals! 6/7 days a week are good mornings for me! I wake up (6-8am), shower hit the gym and run my 10k and always dip down into breakfast. The early bird gets the worm!!! The day i over sleep I can count on housekeeping to start bugging me about 8am or 9am, if the hotel is slow then they dont start knocking until 10am, at which I feel like my day has been wasted ! The hotels I stay at have breakfast for 13-20$ in the morning, mostly buffet style. I can't tell you the last time I seen a Continental breakfast -outside of Cleveland, Ohio. I pay the extra couple dollars thru priceline to ensure I am at a SAFE 3star or better hotel along my travels. You won't catch me at anything less unless i am familiar with the city and have been there multiple times!

If I'm traveling, of course, I may have to have breakfast out.

 

But at home, we have pretty much abandoned the practice of going out for breakfast. It just isn't a good value. At $30.00 - $40.00 for 2, I would rather stay in and have a terrific breakfast at home. My favorite breakfast, for decades, has been steak and eggs.

 

When traveling, I prefer apartments and condos to hotels because I then don't need to spend a lot of time sitting in a restaurant for every meal, waiting to be served.

Wearing what you slept in? That wouldn't work for me, unless the hotel is in a nudist colony.

I want to apologize for disturbing you. But I promise water did touch me at least briefly as I washed my hands after going toity just before going down.

Unless I was with an early bird escort, I usually missed them. One suggestion is if you stay at Hampton Inn and let them know the night before, I think you can request a sack breakfast. Then if you sleep past breakfast and they haven't given your sack away-it might take the edge off while you are deciding what you really want to eat. Of course it's most likely going to have yogurt which I hate. But it might at least have a hard boiled egg and a banana.

[craigville beach]

a good (not so easy many times) hot cup of coffee and a piece of fruit is all I need to get started for the day. Most hotels have the fruit, many don't have the good cup of coffee

[Doe Be Doe]

I recall wonderful included breakfasts in Europe. Eggs, breads, cheeses, etc. Yum.

[Guest AnthonyDriller]

I really try to especially if I stay at Hampton Inn, Embassy Suites, etc. I like to eat lol

I am an early morning person, and the person I engage is not. I can make any hotel breakfast work for me. There is always some sort of high fiber choice, as well as protein. Along with a pot of coffee, I'm set to go. WG2

This is what I do too. If there's a banana it goes in a pocket on my way back to the room.

 

Although on a recent trip I was stopped in my tracks by the breakfast offering at a cheap chain motel. The proprietress had turned up her nose at the chain's canned breakfasts, said "not under my roof!", and offered up homemade biscuits and sausage gravy. She was a delight and so was breakfast. I was gobsmacked by that woman's resourcefulness with a hotplate and a toaster oven.

 

Wherever possible if you want to find the best breakfast ask a go-go boy. (Or a DJ, or a bartender, or anyone who works until the end of the night.) For most of them, breakfast is dinner and they'll know where to find the best.

[Mocha]

Thanks everyone for the input. Yesterday was my first night in a hotel in over a week, but I was able to hit the sack a little early and pulled myself downstairs with 30 minutes left to eat. I was so proud of myself.

 

But, this is probably why I subconsciously sleep in: I walk downstairs, busy Orlando hotel...and the lobby is so loud, I could have heard it from half way around the world. As I walk across, it looked like the 50s and over ladies retreat group had booked the entire hotel. The breakfast was just a mere insulin boost.

 

The hotels I stay at have breakfast for 13-20$ in the morning, mostly buffet style. I can't tell you the last time I seen a Continental breakfast -outside of Cleveland, Ohio.

Haha, quite the early bird!

 

However, I can say although 3 star and better hotels seem safe, I rarely stay in big hotels anymore. Part of the reason is I didn't like the crowds, and they were always NOISY. Mainly the lobby area, but sometimes right in the rooms. And there was a study showing that big 4 star hotels weren't much cleaner than the 2 star properties. Add in the fact that some charge for wifi, parking, and breakfast...that $50 hotel can end up costing $100, which one could just book thru the hotel with a rate that includes it.

 

I always say, there's nothing wrong with a 2 or 2.5 star hotel. It depends on the brand, location and the name. The same 2 star hotel in Breckenride, will be better quality than the 2 star hotel in Miami. I won't name the property, but there's a 4 star hotel in Las Vegas I spent a weekend at, and on my last morning, I paid $30 for their Sunday breakfast/brunch buffet. It was delicious, but within a few hours, my stomach was in turmoil. To make matters worse, I had a 12 hour drive thru some deserted areas. It took 3-4 trips to the bathroom to realize I'd gotten food poisoning. Luckily, it had passed without a trip to the ER.

[Mikegaite]

I deign to eat the hotel breakfast whilst dwelling at a Category Seven property in which I can obtain a panoply of farm-to-table options from chickens that have been not only sustainably raised but also well-cuddled. If it's one of those lesser properties like the Chatwal and I'm flying out later in the day on Lufthansa First in the A380, well then I'll usually save my appetite.

When I'm at home in Cleveland, Ohio I stay at a 2 star hotel where I get a great discount. While traveling I need to be safe and secure. I use priceline, yes there is always 50-100$ credit card hold, but its fun to me to see my bank account get low then BAM! 3 holds clear at once and my account sky rockets again. I'm sorry you had food poisoning. As far as parking-- If a client isn't willing to pay for parking in a upscale hotel, but is comfortable parking their car at a 1-2 star hotel, I scratch my head and wonder "you're asking for your nice new car to be broken in to" I'd rather pay valet to park and watch my car then leave it outside of a hotel where no one is going to care if someone is breaking into your car or not. All this talk of food has me hungry (not surprising) either Mexican AGAIN or Italian tonight!!!

 

I just am 1400 miles from home and don't want to take a gamble even if the hotel requires a key card to let someone in the elevator (I LOVE THIS ONE) it helps me become closer to a client because they HAVE to communicate and tell me when parking, then when coming in the front door, sometimes meet in the restaurant or bar area and have a juice, cocktail or meal together, or just meet them in the elevator as I come down, always greet them with a smile and have ample time for chit-chat, sounds weird, but in Atlanta, my CLIENTS loved this!!!! I wish it was an option everywhere. Also means i NEVER have to give out my room number.

 

Giving out your room number when someone says they're "Here" then they never show up makes me VERY VERY VERY nervous. I don't know about other guys, but its means to switch hotels/rooms to me the next morning!

To each is own I guess. I've never had a car broken into at a hotel, whether I parked outside in San Francisco or in DC. It's much safer than parking outside of some sleazy gay bar or bathhouse, as non have valet and are usually in seedy areas of town. Only time I've had anything stolen out of car was outside a gay bar, not a hotel (and it wasn't my car, it was someone else's car). The valet guys are the ones I don't trust. Ever heard of joyrides? One client told me of a hotel that charged $70 a night to valet their vehicles, because they were conferencing there. Fortunently the hotel reimbursed some of that.

 

Also, I'm not referring to incidental holds that are placed on a credit card. I'm talking about actual charges. Charges some big hotels require for Internet, parking, breakfast. That all adds up. My opinion is, unless a person is attending a meeting or conference actually taking place in said 3+ star hotel, it's not necessary. All I need is a good bed to fuck and that won't hurt my neck and back the next morning, no paint peeling off the walls or dirty carpets to make a good impression, A good 2-2.5 star hotel in a safe area of town (usually anywhere near a mall) can have all of that minus the bells and whistles of a 4 star hotel.

 

Many luxury hotels have even jumped on the 2 star bandwagon: Mariott, Hilton, Club Carlson, and Holiday Inn all have their mid scale hotels where you can get in, and get the fuck out without having to walk 3 miles from your room to your car, or wait an hour for valet.
