      That’s the thing I hate the most about free hotel breakfast: by the time normal people get up, they’ve already shut it down for the day. I swear they do it on purpose to save money.

        Just how late do you wake up?

        I often stay at hotels for work, and by 8AM I’m leaving so I can be wherever I need to be at by 9, so yeah, breakfast needs to be around 7h30.

        Even at home this is a usual schedule, since commuting is a pain.

        By 10AM at the latest probably most places also need to wrap up service so they can clear up and prepare to serve lunches in a couple of hours.

        It’s not that unreasonable…

          At home that’s the schedule because I have to get to work. It’s not a choice. But on vacation I’m not going to force myself to get up at 6 or 7. Certainly not if I’m out till 4, which is something that happens on occasion (less nowadays, but still).

            And why would you wake up at 6 or 7? There are zero hotels that end breakfast service at that time, that’s just a bullshit argument.

            What I’m saying is that they need to start early to accommodate other people staying there, and that at some point they need to start lunch, so if you wake up at 11 that’s perfectly reasonable, just don’t expect the world to hold for your lordship to come back to the land of the living.

      Many guests are actually there for work. If breakfast opens at 7, that’s a little late for my liking. I gotta finish and drive over to the client and start timely.

      Yes, def this.

      I trust housekeeping just walks in, sees me sleeping, gently smooch me on the forehead & quietly leave the room.

      I swear it’s the blackout curtains. I’ll draw them tight on the first night, then have a surprise in the morning if I didn’t set my alarm.

    In a lot of hotels people in other rooms start making noise around that time anyway, so you might as well get up and enjoy a big breakfast that you dont have to prepare yourself

      Well, I probably woke up all of them 2 hours earlier stumbling to my(-ish) room.

      (Just kidding, I super don’t like to make noise regardless of my state.)

    I think its the fact that you dont have to prepare the food. You wake up, throw some shit on and just fuck off to eat for an hour straight because they have all the food you would ever want.

        The extra hours of sleep are well worth the cost of a non-complimentary breakfast whenever I’m ready for it.

        I’m not one of those people that needs to eat at precise intervals or even every day. I just eat when in hungry for something.

        In summer dinner is usually my first (and often only) meal.
        I almost never eat breakfasts (especially if I woke up “only” a few hours ago). Never could, even parents wanted me to but I just had better days without breakfast as a kid so they stopped insisting.

        I assume that when I travel I have access to food basically everywhere or else I know I have to plan that - which again I do in a way that I eat when I want.

    Am I missing the joke here? Your God damn right I’m going to be up eating the delicious breakfast buffet when I’m on vacation. And your also right that I’m going to sleep until lunch on the weekends so I don’t need to expend effort for breakfast. I literally can’t see doing this any other way.

      Also of course I will be up early if I’m at a hotel so I can get the most time out of my stay. Because I’m most likely somewhere where I want to experience things.

      🤷‍♂️

    Spot on. I love being almost alone with my breakfast, tons of coffee and my book.
