    I don’t know where everyone is staying but I normally get a choice of single serve cereal bowls, bagels with maybe 3 types of spread, some type of juice, coffee, milk, and occasionally a selection of fruit. Everything is served with cheap plastic or cardboard not silverware, glass, cloth or ceramic.

      Pretty much every hotel without “inn” in the name has at least reconstituted egg foam, bacon, and sausage.

      That would be a continental breakfast. What’s shown in the picture is closer to an English breakfast

        The US doesn’t have anything called an English breakfast outside of restaurants which specifically cater to that. Aside from what looks like quiche, that looks like a pretty standard continental breakfast.

      I went to a 3-star hotel that was also doing this. Their free breakfast also includes eggs that came from a carton.

      I think good hotel breakfast peaks at the middle of the price curve.

      I stayed at a La Quinta by Portland airport and they had pancakes, Belgian waffle machines with butter and syrup, biscuits, bacon, eggs, cereal, fruit, juice… For a $115 a night room.

      I’ve stayed at the Four Seasons in Chicago and they had bread and juice.

      4-5 star hotels in Europe tend to serve quality food in a decent tableware.
