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.

Me who wakes up for work at 4am but doesn't eat anything till 11am.

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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...

I wake up naturally around 8:30, typically don’t eat until about 10, breakfast should be served until 11 considering brunch is from 11-2 most places

normal people go to hotels for vacation, not work.

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Pre pandemic 52% of hotel nights were booked by business travelers.

[–] underwire212@lemm.ee 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Where’d you get that number?

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

A site called Business Travel News

Even if that were true, hotel use is pretty evenly split between business travelers and tourists, both are "normal"

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml -1 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

travelling around the globe for work is not normal unless you work for an airplane travel company.

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 hours ago

You don't have to travel the globe to stay on a hotel wtf are you talking about? Lots of people go to different cities within the same country.

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

The globe? Sure. A region, or even a country? It's more common than you think. Sales, 'professionals' with conferences, and people that work for large companies that have people meeting.... these all move large amounts of folks around for work, and hotels are easy to book, invoice to the company, and are generally next to a conference center or have it in the same building.

It’s more common than you think.

thats actually way less common than you think.

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

This is based of your extensive knowledge of NOT being a business traveler?

  • 1.3 million people travel for work every day in the U.S. alone.
  • 40% of hotel guests are work travelers.

Random source.

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).

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Barbarian@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

Also, if you get up at 11, you could just go get lunch.
