Avoid These American Hotel Breakfast Buffets
BY Rebecca Andersson
Baymont Inn & Suites
Baymont Inn & Suites offers guests a hot complimentary breakfast as part of their stay. However, the breakfast is often described as underwhelming and basic.
Reviewers haven't been shy about their criticism. A Tripadvisor user claimed they were "served cold biscuits and sausage gravy that tasted like it was made with bacon grease."
Best Western
A well-known brand, Best Western advertises a free, standard breakfast buffet. While it's considered consistent and reliable, each hotel is independently owned.
As a result, some Best Westerns have been criticized for serving breakfast foods that don't meet guests' expectations, particularly in terms of temperature and freshness.
Comfort Inn
While Comfort Inn offers convenience and affordability, the quality of its amenities — including the breakfast buffet — seems inconsistent.
Not only have guests complained about the subpar food at some of these locations, but some reviewers mentioned that the breakfast buffet ends surprisingly early at 9 a.m.
Days Inn
The budget-friendly hotel chain Days Inn by Wyndham typically offers a light continental breakfast buffet, but reviewers often have mixed opinions about the quality.
Some have called it second-rate and non-existent. Another frequent complaint is that the breakfast is too basic, with that small selection that doesn't change much from day to day.
DoubleTree by Hilton
DoubleTree by Hilton is generally regarded as a mid-range hotel chain offering more upscale accommodations than budget brands.
However, the breakfast isn't actually complimentary. You must either pay for it, request the "Breakfast Included" package, or become a Hilton Honors Gold or Diamond member.
