It's specifically timed: you get up and get dressed for the free breakfast, get back to your room and you're like, "Well, I'm already up and dressed and everything, I might as well hit the road!" And you leave, conveniently leaving the room available for Housekeeping to clean for those early arrivals.

Amusement parks will do something similar: time a fireworks display in a central-ish area near the end of the night. Everyone comes to the fireworks, they end and everyone looks at tl the time and is like, "Well, there's just enough time for one more ride / snack / set of games", and then we'll have to leave," ignoring the way you've been collected to a central(ish) location and primed to leave, making the job for closing security much easier.

Hotel: Advertises full breakfast

Me:I'm so hungry, its great that I don't have to cook

Breakfast: We have pre-made heat lamp eggs, Bacon and sausage are only served til 7am, the toaster doesn't work at the moment, all the fruit was eaten but you can have all the cereal and shitty hotel muffins you want!

And you better be up at 6:30 to put your towel on a pool chair. We tell you not to do it but do nothing about it. Enjoy!

My favourite one so far offered breakfast & brunch until 1pm.

Just as bad is if you're a morning person but they don't serve breakfast until like 10.

That's okay, hotel breakfasts are almost always awful in my experience.

• A belgian waffle machine that is caked in burnt dough

• The bacon is flimsy and under cooked

• Plain bagels stiff from being left out too long and a load of white break next to a toaster you have to cycle 3 times

• The kids leave a plate full of waffles floating in a pool of syrup, 4 bites taken

• Half the 4 seater tables are taken up by 1 person, with plenty of 2-seaters wide open

• Regular and decaf coffee that tastes burnt, and only powdered creamer, offers tea but it's so picked over it's 2-3 types of fruity chai or chamomile, green tea.

Uh, yeah, we got a raisin... Oh it's just raisins. We've got raisins. Ope, that kid just took them.

This is a myth. Unless you are dead tired and utterly exhausted, you'll never sleep all that well in a hotel room because in the back of your little mammalian brain you'll always "know" that it's not "home," and you won't ever feel entirely comfortable until you've slept there for a few nights.

So it's not really like the "escape" herein described.

Unless you travel all the time, in which case again, it's not really an "escape" and is just more of the same.

The best one is airport hotels you can get an full-on breakfast at 4:00am in the morning it's fantastic. Especially useful if their 4:00 a.m. is your 3:00 p.m. and you can have an afternoon snack.

HOTELS: this is a place to relax, unwind, and take it easy

ALSO HOTELS: we stop serving breakfast at sunrise

I've only had this happen once, and it was at the cheapest, grungiest motel I've ever been in. I don't think I would have wanted their breakfast anyway.

"The best stuff" at a Continental breakfast anymore is prepackaged, unfortunately. The eggs are gross, the baked goods are stale, and it's always disappointing. I barely even try it anymore and bring my own stuff rather than suffering through that crap.
