Many others in the thread talked about their hotels that give them a bagged egg and stale cereal, so I decided to share my relatively consistent experience with a hotel chain. These forms are the last place for hopefully actual reviews/information. The alternatives are ad-infected paid 'reviews' or a pile of google/yelp reviews that basically amount to "if I could give 0 stars I would because the hotel internet went down during a hurricane" or "10/10 recommend"

Is Holiday inn the cheapest option? no. Is it possible I've just lucked out with the ones in my region? yes.

But clearly some people value breakfast at hotels, and I choose to share an option in detail.
