@@youtubehandol It's pretty common knowledge. The more disposable income you have the more you're nickeled and dimed. Same with all the extra stuff you have to pay for in Bmw or Mercedes cars that come free on a cheapo car. Or Apple products that charge crazy prices for storage that is comparatively free with more economy brands. Anyways, in my personal experience if you want free breakfast at basically all nice hotels, you need status. Gold or platinum depending on the brand.

My mom worked for many years as the sole employee that would set up and maintain the free breakfast area for her hotel! Mom often helped kids make waffles, had a system going for when to restock items in the stations, and would often give patrons a fifteen minute grace period after breakfast times were over and she was cleaning the lobby for them to grab last-minute food they needed. Plus, she'd bring home leftover pastries, biscuits, gravy, and waffle batter that would be tossed at the end of her shift regardless, to not contribute to food waste. She worked that job for nearly a decade. Got laid off when the hotel was bought and changed management. New management axed the free breakfast.
I stayed at a Hyatt Place by Charlotte Airport a few months ago their breakfast bar was awesome Scrambled eggs sausage and potatoes w fruit and yogurt and orange juice and coffee. The TV didn't have any reception but this was right after the hurricane
The reasons i watched this video 1. Very chill,no over excitement for nothing 2. informative and educational 3.editing didnt feel over exaggerated 4.brought class to a subject noone asked for keep your style bec its better then the top 10 on youtube..
I travel for work for around 300 days per year. Holiday Inn Express has been consistently the most clean, organized and comfortable hotel all around the country. Admittedly, I don't eat hotel breakfast very often because I hate powered/liquid eggs, or heavily sugared items for breakfast, but Holiday Inn seems to always have a fantastic selection.

this is the first video i've seen of yours, and as someone who has worked in hotels for the past ten years - one of which was a Holiday Inn Express - this was very enjoyable to watch! I like the presentation you do, no putting on some voice, no annoying bits, just a consistent tone and informative script. thanks, we need more like you.
Yes! As a business owner who travels all over the US for my business, Holiday Inn Express is my go to because I get a consistent experience almost everywhere, including a solid breakfast. If I'm on a job for a week, having a good breakfast every day starts the day off right and saves me time and money. Also, their cinnamon rolls are amazing!
What makes a hotel breakfast top tier to me: waffle machine with special flavor batters, fresh fruit, pre packaged baked goods, bacon or sausage, cereal/Oatmeal area (with a lot of toppings), bagged eggs like for real those bagged eggs turned into scrambled are legit, juices, milks, potatoes, and toast/bagels and cream cheeses
Lmao I’ve only ever had one full breakfast at a motel (Best Western) and it was quite satisfying. They had chicken fried steaks for goodness sake’s!!! 😂
@@baronvg I was pleasantly surprised by biscuits and gravy* and real onions in the potatoes at my last BW stay. They held it open for a few minutes extra for me too. They're usually extremely strict on the closing time. * totally treyf, so don't tell the in-laws.
As a Super 8 employee watching this at my desk, about to put out "breakfast" in a few hours I knew we were gonna lose and I also about died laughing when the music started. Really rubbing it in. xD
Our local super 8 has an over chlorinated unheated pool. The rooms havent been renovated in like 30 years either. I honestly dont know if they ever refilled the pool or if they just add more chlorine every day. $50 a night i guess? Also the pool is cold as hell. Its like even after swimming for an hour you dont get used to it.
Definitely do a part 2 with the premium hotels! I think that'd be really interesting to see the differences in their breakfasts, but also just how the hotels themselves compare.
Years ago I went to a business hotel somewhere in Mexico, I believe it was mid-tier, not luxury, and the service and food and variety was probably the best breakfast I've had in my life.
The problem is…usually the more expensive a hotel, the fewer amenities they include in the regular room rate. So premium hotels don’t typically include free breakfast (in the US, anyway). They might SELL breakfast in their on-premises restaurant, but the comparison would be tricky.
@@Showwhat-b4x Hmm, true. At the majority of really nice hotels I've stayed at I've had to pay for breakfast. I HAVE had some really great buffets at resorts though, although those are usually 2-400+ per night.
My fave breakfast I ever had was at a holiday inn express in Philadelphia, I was there for a wedding. The worst hotel breakfast that was hilarious was when I was in San Jose. It said “continental breakfast included.” When I asked where the breakfast was, she pointed to a danish and croissant and said “France. Denmark.” And that was it. 🤣☠️ her indifference to her job actually Added to the whole experience. We loved her even though she hated everyone. Edit: I can’t remember if it was a red roof or a Ramada but she was definitely the most memorable part of the trip
My family virtually only stays at holiday inn expresses. The breakfast is very consistent between hotels. Usually either a cheese omelette, veggie omelette in the video or scrambled eggs. One option of bacon, sausage patty or link, or turkey sausage is pretty much always available. They sometimes have biscuits and sausage gravy. Universally they pretty much always have cinnamon rolls. Breakfast potatoes are a common food item. Many but not all have pancakes, waffles also but they are less common in recent years. The other stuff like bread oatmeal cereal yogurt milk juice coffee and fruit is pretty standard across the board. What’s nice is the menu often changes every day so if you’re staying multiple nights you can have a variety of hot breakfast foods.
Holiday Inn Express is also pretty much the only hotel I stay in, as well. I love consistency in hotels, and HIE is consistent and a good stay. Only gripes are that some units still have old and loud AC machines, and the shower heads tend to be poorly maintained. Everything else is perfect for the price.
They must consistently enforce brand standards because I’ve had very few bad experiences , and when I do have one it’s rectified just as quickly as I make them aware.
I am always impressed at how well you plan your videos, Sam. It's impressive that you will be filming parts for this video while also traveling to film other videos like the Best Wings in America series. Well done man! Efficiency score = 100
As a touring musician, I’ve had a LOT of Holiday Inn Express breakfasts. Never lets me down
Місяць тому+4
I'm not sure if it was just for the Hurricane but the Holiday Inn Express Hollywood Airport location in Florida didn't have one and I was crushed. Switched hotels after that.
Our stay was in SD. Our room had comfortable beds and was CLEAN. The room and decor was older. The had one of the best breakfasts with many choices and had snack trays in the afternoon around happy hour.
I'm from the mid-west. I stayed at a cheapo no breakfast hotel for a few nights in San Fransisco before messing my flight date up and having to stay another night, fortunately at a better hotel. It wasn't a grand expensive hotel, it was like $100/night vs the $80/night that was BAD. The hotel had a free breakfast buffet. It was incredible and not what I was expecting. First of all, I made my first waffle there. They had fresh fruit, pastries, donuts, toast, bagels, cereals, oatmeal, potatoes, eggs, sausage patties, sausage links, juices, coffee machine with various options, teas. The sausage patties, eggs, and potatoes were seasoned with mexican spices and it was so delicious. The whole cook crew was Mexican and I thought it was unique for the food to have their style to it, unlike what I'm used to in the mid-west, just normal plain what I'm used to. Their kitchen was being updated so they cooked everything outside on 3 flat iron grills.
I worked at a Hampton inn for years and I think it was the primary chain that got most hotels to make the switch from continental to American - and the woman who ran our breakfast every day was NO joke, that breakfast service was her pride and joy
Seeing the data behind my love for the holiday inn breakfast is so satisfying lol. I will say the hours and clear communication of them are so important at a hotel. It's also slightly annoying when you stay at a hotel for more than a few days and the breakfast hours are different every day.
I love that you still do your “everything will be okay” ending man. Made me tear up the first time watching your videos earlier this year cause I was going thru alot an now things are better but keep up all the hard work big bro 💯🐐 one of my favorite youtubers now a days
@BigHuntDawg14 this is honestly my favorite thing he does! He's so entertaining and does such interesting stuff which is refreshing but I always stay till the end to hear that💗
@@abbyb8026facts yea I was watching the first vid I seen of his an then he mentions it an it kinda catches you off guard especially if your actively going thru something while watching an it’s just so reassuring an comforting
As a Hilton employee, honestly and not being biased, we have some of the most consistent breakfasts. Typically Hamptons and Trus have very similar breakfasts, the higher end hotels (that offer free breakfast), are typically diverse but usually have the same core foods, like Embassy Suites typically have made to order sections such as omlettes and pancakes. Keep up the great work with the Hotel reviews! I would love to see more!
Can confirm. Stay out 150 nights a year and Hilton is very consistent across all types of properties on everything including breakfast. Keep up the good work!
We recently stayed at a Drury Inn in St. Louis, and the breakfast was good with hot items, fresh fruits, good coffee. Free breakfast is always my favorite part of motel stays, especially when you have kids. Kids love to make their own.
Super 8 has not changed. It's been 20 years since we stayed at one. They only had coffee and a pecan roll/swirl. As a teen, i was so hungry and disappointed. We had to stop by a mcdonalds on our way to Florida
That's definitely not my experience with Super 8. I stay at them often and most are Days Inn live. Waffle Maker, Juice, toast, yogurt, milk, cereal, apples and clementines.
Stayed at a Super 8 for a few days back in 2011. They had weak stale coffee in a thermos and two wall-mounted cereal dispensers. Think there might've also been a gumball machine.
I can attest to that, my family stayed in a local Super 8 9 years ago & the only thing I remember about the free breakfast was the packaged cinnamon/pecan rolls & a limited selection of cold cereals, milk & yogurts. I didn't even remember what drinks they had beyond the milk for the cereals but there may not have been any drinks worth remembering. We literally just took the cinnamon/pecan rolls back to our room to have as snacks later & walked down the street to the local Dunkin for more hearty breakfasts 😆
@@Venzynt It is different. The first is lazy content that I could do, and have done somewhat over a period of years. The second is something that is not as easy to do, price-wise, and logistic-wise. I stay a couple of nights a year at the same hotel, so it would take me like 5-10 years to do this without going out of my way, and by that time a lot of hotels would have changed. It's useful and factors in the next time I book a hotel with a free breakfast
My husband is an airline pilot so he’s had a hotel breakfast or two. He says Hyatt Place and Hyatt Houses are the best free breakfasts. The hot food is made in cast iron skillets and you dish out directly from the nice cookware. Not just your standard powdered eggs and mediocre sausage. It’s the good stuff. Breakfast hash and better quality meat. Also they have fresh blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Not fruits you normally see. Great video! Thanks for posting!
I stayed at the former back in June, in Virginia, and I can confirm all of this. My friends and I were gonna go into DC and it really was a great start to the day to have all the classic breakfast staples like eggs, bacon, bagels, fruit, and oatmeal before heading out. A nice breakfast is a luxury for a lot of people (Not all, shout-out to those who make it work) so getting one as part of your stay in a different place is pleasant.
@@tre8792 Yes they are . This was mid hotels . Leave it to the upscale people to put how great their "free breakfasts". were. Also, those places tend to charge your room for the breakfast ..you have to add that breakfast to your room . It's a request for.
Red Roof! Post-apocalyptic is a terrific description! My brother was a security guard at one of those in Atlanta. They're all just drug and gang dens with weekly rates. I don't know of a single decent Red Roof Inn ANYWHERE. That $59 per room should not be given to the MOTEL but should be awarded to anyone brave enough to stay in one overnight.
I feel that not all Super 8's are equal. I'm in Texas and wanted to stay in the Hill Country for my bday one year. Fredericksburg was pricey so we stayed in Kerrville, 20 minutes from Fredericksburg, at the Super 8 by Wyndham. I gotta say, the hotel was older but well kept. Beds could have been softer but it was okay. They had an excellent hot American Breakfast (eggs, sausage, pancakes, etc.). The woman who cooked the food, named Jonita, was fantastic. She had the food out and made sure we had plenty and let us take food back to the room. Even when breakfast hours were over (I don't recall what time) the food wasn't taken away. It was left out for others to grab a plate until it was gone. I guess it depends on who runs the hotel.
Yes Please do a Part 2 with Premium hotels! Thank you! And yes, having stayed in many hotels during our daughter's sports days, the free breakfasts were always much appreciated!
Honestly, I think free breakfast is more associated with the mid/low-tier that he featured in this video. Anytime I've stayed at higher end hotels, they did not provide free breakfast. They would have a restaurant inside that you'd pay for like any other sit down place.
@flips220 yes, but when traveling with a Volleyball or Basketball team, it was a balance between a nice place to stay for a reasonable price and a hasty breakfast before 8 am or spending hours and lots of money for a breakfast when you're in a hurry with 10 + hungry teens. So when we stay at a higher end hotel or resort, we are happy to pay for a leisurely and quality meal.
1. Based upon your experience, I would rank BW above True based simply on the yogurt section. Who wants yogurt from a machine. 2. AFAIK, virtually all hotels and motels are franchises and the brand company simply provides support, standards and basic oversight. 3. Great idea. Loved the video.
this video just saved me. i had Red Roof Inn stay booked but not paid for and then after watching this video, i got anxious and double checked the reviews and saw one from a WEEK ago that talked about it being INFESTED with roaches and flies. Turns out the nearby Holiday Inn Express was booking for only 130 dollars more in total for my five-night stay. Jumped on that as soon as I saw it, never looking back.
You really glazed right over that cinnamon roll at Holiday Inn Express. OK bad pun, but really those cinnamon rolls are fantastic. I’ve always loved HIE breakfast.
I stay at Hampton, HIE and Fairifield not infrequently but the HIE i stay at the most never has bacon so you really lucked out =( But if you think HIE breakfast in the US is good, try HIE in Asia... OMG... Going to be at HIE in Singapore for 8 nights in a row next year
My grandpa owned a fairfield hotel and I stayed their with my cousins for every Christmas break. The breakfast buffet was something we always looked forward to, something worth noting is that they do have vegetarian patties along with their sausage patties!! you just have to ask them for it
As a semi-retired scientist and a person who has traveled all over the world, I really appreciate your reviews (over the Ryans and others on yt). You have great explanations and use more of a scientific approach. I just subbed to you. Not only out of appreciation, but respect.
See, this is the kind of late night program I would watch frequently, you learn something new and your delivery while detailing your results gets a few solid laughs from me. You earned my sub.
The Hampton I stay at in Rosemont near Ohare (Chicago) almost always has biscuits and gravy. Sometimes these like, pre-made omelet patty things as well. Biscuit, omelet, gravy combo slaps.
When I've stayed multiple days at Holiday Inn Express, breakfast items changed daily. Sausage patties vs links, potatoes vs biscuits and gravy even scrambled egg vs omelets.
Stellar content as always Sam. You'll be in the top ten list you mentioned in no time and with the wuality and originality of youre videos i wouldnt be surprised if you make it to #1 some day.
As someone who is GF due to Celiac, I can't tell you how excited I got seeing that GF waffle maker!! It might be worth it for me to spend the extra 30 to stay there since I'd probably spend that on a GF meal having to go out for breakfast at another location. And that's not including the cost of my travel companion's food! I would love to see a part 2 with premium hotels to see if any of them have a similar set up 😊
Still have to be careful, as I have got extremely sick from these "GF" waffle makers. You have to put a lot of trust in that noone put the regular batter in there, and the staff cleaning it. I ruined too many trips by trusting the GF waffle makers, so I don't even bother anymore. Now being low carb on top of all that makes breakfast at most places impossible, but there are a few hotels that will accommodate. I visited a HIE once that was able to make grain free cinnamon rolls, and those were great!
The graph at the end was super interesting. Love the data analysis! My grandma is a holiday inn person, so I’ve been there a fair few times. I’ve never had a bad breakfast there.
I used to travel for work a lot to industrial areas and always used the Holiday Inn Express and I would agree with your assessment. It’s a great value and their breakfast is awesome.
The interesting thing about premium-class hotels is that you can often find them at or below the midscale hotels for all sorts of random reasons ('its the middle of winter and nobody is coming to this desolate hellscape except you', 'we are doing a renovation', and 'yeah sure why not, its 11:30PM and otherwise the room is just gonna be empty tonight') . I can tell you, though, that the straight-up breakfast winner in that category is Hyatt Place.
8:17 My friends and I used to get in trouble for making quesadillas in our college cafeteria’s waffle irons… The haters don’t want to see us use the waffle iron to its full potential!
Great video! As a travel baseball mom, I have stayed at numerous hotels. The team and families value the importance of a good breakfast before the games. It seems they have been doing a good job choosing a hotel because they always choose one from the top half of your list. We usually stay at a Hampton Inn, a Best Western Plus, or a Holiday Inn Express. One breakfast that stands out was the Best Western Plus in Dubuque, Iowa. That was a pricier hotel but had a lot of extra features that were needed for a team who were over 6 hours away from their homes.
17:53 "am I saying that having a bad breakfast drives people to do crimes? Maybe!" ..i lost it. love the vibes, great videos, unique stories! keep em coming!
imho the only thing to look out for with holiday inn express is that they aren't connected to a restaurant. if they are, it's $$$$$ for breakfast. if they aren't, it's why I stay at them. as a diabetic, I can get breakfast and lunch out of their breakfast service. sometimes dinner, too.
Embassy Suites fall more under the premium brands of hotels... Which after doing a quick google search, some places are asking for $130+ a night... They better be making custom order omelets
Good luck in your quest to crack the top 10! You've come so far, I was here pretty early on and super impressed by your production quality even back then.
I've worked in hotels for about 5 years, and you're spot on about franchisees having different items. Some brands will have very strict brand standards for hotels to follow, whereas some will have few or none. Choice, Marriot, and Hilton hotels are usually the strictest in terms of brand standards. Sometimes they'll go above and beyond the brand standards to set themselves apart from other hotels in the area. For example, we aren't required to provide hot items at our hotel, but we offer breakfast sausage nuggets in addition to the other continental items anyway. Some places will ignore brand standards entirely and offer no breakfast if they aren't worried about inspections. Coffee, waffles, yogurt, etc can also vary depending on if the hotel brand requires a certain coffee brand or not. If not, it's up to the hotel to work with their vendor to decide what coffee to get.
FWIW, Best Western is always my first choice for sleep quality. Dark room if desired and very good mattresses and cleanliness for the $$ .. I'm not a huge breakfast freak, but always fits the bill for me. I don't need a large room, just cozy and BW seems to fulfill.
That Red Roof Inn matches my memory of staying at one years ago to a tee, so I suspect it is typical. That was also where I learned what a "continental breakfast" actually meant.
I haven't travelled for work for a few years, but I always booked a Hampton, and one of the main reasons was because I knew the breakfast would be decent. And for consistent lunch or dinner you can usually find an Applebee's in the neighborhood.
We stayed at a Ramada somewhere in the midwest that had a full omlet bar with a cook and everything when i was a teenager. Ive never been able to find another complimentary breakfast with that since.
This was so well put together and the pacing was amazing, didn't feel like skipping forward or off the video at any point! :-) Please make more of these and also if you travel by air often, you should absolutely do videos covering some airport restaurants!
Hampton Inn is my go to hotel. I think they offer a good breakfast and they have a rotating menu too so some days you get omelets and even biscuits and gravy.
Best hotel breakfast spread for me was a holiday inn in Miami where they had alot of stuff like fresh fruit, different juices and coffee, breads, cereal. Yogurt. Pastries like muffins and donuts but the cherry on top was a pancake conveyor belt where you drop your pancake in and it would come the other side already cooked
The best hotel breakfast I’ve ever had was in a Gillette, Wyoming, in August. $61.47 for the room, eggs/sausage/bacon/waffles, fruit, baked goods, etc. The offerings vary by location! Clutch when i was on a cross country trip.
Thanks for sharing this. I'm a flight attendant so I know a lot about hotel breakfasts and Hampton is my favorite because they switch the hot meals from day to day. But a hotel with a real breakfast included, not just coffee and fruit but hot items
The comfort inn and suites vs regular comfort inn the suites has cookies and pop corn and free 2 different waters that are flavored during the afternoon and tons of breakfast options
I stayed in a place in Orlando once that said free breakfast at booking. "Free breakfast" turned out to be coupons for the food court at the Outlet Mall down the road! Expired coupons at that.
My wife and I stayed at a Super 8 in Canada last year for $135CAD for a queens size bed with jacuzzi tub. They basically had every breakfast items you'd want. 4 types of cereal, 3 kinds of muffins, 3 types of bagels, English muffins, bread, apples, oranges, bananasmelon medley. Yoplait Yogurt, mini cinnibons, hard boiled eggs, scrabbled eggs, omelet center, waffle make, sausages, bacon, hash browns and applesauce.
In European hotels, the main staple for breakfast will be bread/rolls and cold cuts (ham, cheese etc.) and müsli/cereal, supplemented by eggs, bacon, waffles/pancakes and/or sweet baked goods (chocolate croissants etc.). And there will ALWAYS be Nutella. 😋

Definitely do a part 2 with the premium hotels! I think that'd be really interesting to see the differences in their breakfasts, but also just how the hotels themselves compare.
Years ago I went to a business hotel somewhere in Mexico, I believe it was mid-tier, not luxury, and the service and food and variety was probably the best breakfast I've had in my life.
The problem is…usually the more expensive a hotel, the fewer amenities they include in the regular room rate. So premium hotels don’t typically include free breakfast (in the US, anyway). They might SELL breakfast in their on-premises restaurant, but the comparison would be tricky.
@@Showwhat-b4x So basically they know u rich, so they try to suck as much of your net worth out of you as they can 💀
@@hidarling641they give you a $18/day credit if you have status with their loyalty program
@@Showwhat-b4x Hmm, true. At the majority of really nice hotels I've stayed at I've had to pay for breakfast. I HAVE had some really great buffets at resorts though, although those are usually 2-400+ per night.
Never forget the Key and Peele skit where the character was cathartically yelling “I love being incontinent!” while enjoying the Continental Breakfast
My fave breakfast I ever had was at a holiday inn express in Philadelphia, I was there for a wedding. The worst hotel breakfast that was hilarious was when I was in San Jose. It said “continental breakfast included.” When I asked where the breakfast was, she pointed to a danish and croissant and said “France. Denmark.” And that was it. 🤣☠️ her indifference to her job actually Added to the whole experience. We loved her even though she hated everyone. Edit: I can’t remember if it was a red roof or a Ramada but she was definitely the most memorable part of the trip
My family virtually only stays at holiday inn expresses. The breakfast is very consistent between hotels. Usually either a cheese omelette, veggie omelette in the video or scrambled eggs. One option of bacon, sausage patty or link, or turkey sausage is pretty much always available. They sometimes have biscuits and sausage gravy. Universally they pretty much always have cinnamon rolls. Breakfast potatoes are a common food item. Many but not all have pancakes, waffles also but they are less common in recent years. The other stuff like bread oatmeal cereal yogurt milk juice coffee and fruit is pretty standard across the board. What’s nice is the menu often changes every day so if you’re staying multiple nights you can have a variety of hot breakfast foods.
Holiday Inn Express is also pretty much the only hotel I stay in, as well. I love consistency in hotels, and HIE is consistent and a good stay.
Only gripes are that some units still have old and loud AC machines, and the shower heads tend to be poorly maintained. Everything else is perfect for the price.
They must consistently enforce brand standards because I’ve had very few bad experiences , and when I do have one it’s rectified just as quickly as I make them aware.
I’m pretty loyal to HIE and Hampton in the US. But if you ever have a chance go stay at a HIE in Asia. Breakfast blows US out of the water.
The biscuits and gravy are my favorite, and they act as a nice laxative 😂😂
THEY HAVE BISCUITS AND GRAVY?! Okay next time i go somewhere ill stay there instead of super8, because their breakfasts are always miserable.
I am always impressed at how well you plan your videos, Sam. It's impressive that you will be filming parts for this video while also traveling to film other videos like the Best Wings in America series. Well done man! Efficiency score = 100
As a touring musician, I’ve had a LOT of Holiday Inn Express breakfasts. Never lets me down
I'm not sure if it was just for the Hurricane but the Holiday Inn Express Hollywood Airport location in Florida didn't have one and I was crushed. Switched hotels after that.
They rock.no pun intended 😂
Our stay was in SD. Our room had comfortable beds and was CLEAN. The room and decor was older. The had one of the best breakfasts with many choices and had snack trays in the afternoon around happy hour.
I'm from the mid-west.
I stayed at a cheapo no breakfast hotel for a few nights in San Fransisco before messing my flight date up and having to stay another night, fortunately at a better hotel. It wasn't a grand expensive hotel, it was like $100/night vs the $80/night that was BAD.
The hotel had a free breakfast buffet.
It was incredible and not what I was expecting.
First of all, I made my first waffle there.
They had fresh fruit, pastries, donuts, toast, bagels, cereals, oatmeal, potatoes, eggs, sausage patties, sausage links, juices, coffee machine with various options, teas.
The sausage patties, eggs, and potatoes were seasoned with mexican spices and it was so delicious. The whole cook crew was Mexican and I thought it was unique for the food to have their style to it, unlike what I'm used to in the mid-west, just normal plain what I'm used to.
Their kitchen was being updated so they cooked everything outside on 3 flat iron grills.
I worked at a Hampton inn for years and I think it was the primary chain that got most hotels to make the switch from continental to American - and the woman who ran our breakfast every day was NO joke, that breakfast service was her pride and joy
Certainly a great chain and a great breakfast.. just needs more bacon, less chicken sausage
Seeing the data behind my love for the holiday inn breakfast is so satisfying lol. I will say the hours and clear communication of them are so important at a hotel. It's also slightly annoying when you stay at a hotel for more than a few days and the breakfast hours are different every day.
big fish theory!
I love that you still do your “everything will be okay” ending man. Made me tear up the first time watching your videos earlier this year cause I was going thru alot an now things are better but keep up all the hard work big bro 💯🐐 one of my favorite youtubers now a days

As a Hilton employee, honestly and not being biased, we have some of the most consistent breakfasts. Typically Hamptons and Trus have very similar breakfasts, the higher end hotels (that offer free breakfast), are typically diverse but usually have the same core foods, like Embassy Suites typically have made to order sections such as omlettes and pancakes. Keep up the great work with the Hotel reviews! I would love to see more!
You are correct.
I always stay at Embassy Suites if I can.
Can confirm. Stay out 150 nights a year and Hilton is very consistent across all types of properties on everything including breakfast. Keep up the good work!
hampton and tru are both hilton places
@@sideburnman56I love embassy’s breakfast
We recently stayed at a Drury Inn in St. Louis, and the breakfast was good with hot items, fresh fruits, good coffee. Free breakfast is always my favorite part of motel stays, especially when you have kids. Kids love to make their own.
Drury Inn by the arch is excellent!!!
Drury Inn has amazing breakfast as well as a free kickback at night. Free soda, snack, and 3 alcoholic beverages at night.
Super 8 has not changed. It's been 20 years since we stayed at one. They only had coffee and a pecan roll/swirl. As a teen, i was so hungry and disappointed. We had to stop by a mcdonalds on our way to Florida
As soon as he said, “ But sadly, that wasn’t the worst one”, I was like oh yeah, the worst one is going to be super eight
I’m so sorry this happened to you
That's definitely not my experience with Super 8. I stay at them often and most are Days Inn live. Waffle Maker, Juice, toast, yogurt, milk, cereal, apples and clementines.
Stayed at a Super 8 for a few days back in 2011. They had weak stale coffee in a thermos and two wall-mounted cereal dispensers. Think there might've also been a gumball machine.
I can attest to that, my family stayed in a local Super 8 9 years ago & the only thing I remember about the free breakfast was the packaged cinnamon/pecan rolls & a limited selection of cold cereals, milk & yogurts. I didn't even remember what drinks they had beyond the milk for the cereals but there may not have been any drinks worth remembering.
We literally just took the cinnamon/pecan rolls back to our room to have as snacks later & walked down the street to the local Dunkin for more hearty breakfasts 😆
Every other UA-camr: "I'm trying a burger at every fast food resturant."
Sam: "I'm trying all the free continental breakfasts!"
I love it.
Why are you acting like that's especially different or interesting?
I prefer this 100%
@@Venzyntpeople crave attention from UA-camrs that’s why they say things like this.
@@Venzynt It is different. The first is lazy content that I could do, and have done somewhat over a period of years.
The second is something that is not as easy to do, price-wise, and logistic-wise. I stay a couple of nights a year at the same hotel, so it would take me like 5-10 years to do this without going out of my way, and by that time a lot of hotels would have changed. It's useful and factors in the next time I book a hotel with a free breakfast
My husband is an airline pilot so he’s had a hotel breakfast or two. He says Hyatt Place and Hyatt Houses are the best free breakfasts. The hot food is made in cast iron skillets and you dish out directly from the nice cookware. Not just your standard powdered eggs and mediocre sausage. It’s the good stuff. Breakfast hash and better quality meat. Also they have fresh blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Not fruits you normally see. Great video! Thanks for posting!
I stayed at the former back in June, in Virginia, and I can confirm all of this. My friends and I were gonna go into DC and it really was a great start to the day to have all the classic breakfast staples like eggs, bacon, bagels, fruit, and oatmeal before heading out.
A nice breakfast is a luxury for a lot of people (Not all, shout-out to those who make it work) so getting one as part of your stay in a different place is pleasant.
That sounds fire, those are probably premium hotels right?
@@tre8792 Yes they are . This was mid hotels . Leave it to the upscale people to put how great their "free breakfasts". were. Also, those places tend to charge your room for the breakfast ..you have to add that breakfast to your room . It's a request for.
And their prices to stay are much higher than those shown in this video.
@cyrilmauras4247 FACT !;
Red Roof! Post-apocalyptic is a terrific description! My brother was a security guard at one of those in Atlanta. They're all just drug and gang dens with weekly rates. I don't know of a single decent Red Roof Inn ANYWHERE. That $59 per room should not be given to the MOTEL but should be awarded to anyone brave enough to stay in one overnight.
I stayed at red roof in Houston once. Let’s just say I was afraid I might not wake up the next day 😂😂.
perhaps unpopular opinion but i love red roof inns, i usually look for them specifically because the people are so interesting
I did look for red roof because of being pet friendly.
I feel that not all Super 8's are equal. I'm in Texas and wanted to stay in the Hill Country for my bday one year. Fredericksburg was pricey so we stayed in Kerrville, 20 minutes from Fredericksburg, at the Super 8 by Wyndham. I gotta say, the hotel was older but well kept. Beds could have been softer but it was okay. They had an excellent hot American Breakfast (eggs, sausage, pancakes, etc.). The woman who cooked the food, named Jonita, was fantastic. She had the food out and made sure we had plenty and let us take food back to the room. Even when breakfast hours were over (I don't recall what time) the food wasn't taken away. It was left out for others to grab a plate until it was gone. I guess it depends on who runs the hotel.
Making your own waffles with the batter >>>>>>
the best
Nothing like it 🙌🏼
Making your own batter with the waffles... (╬ಠิ益ಠิ)
ive only ever been to one place that had this option and it was a cheap motel on a trip to an amusement park, best hotel breakfast ever.
Bonus points if the waffles are shaped like Texas.
As someone that travels quite a bit for work…holiday inn express is on point. Sometimes they aren’t the cleanest though. Fairfield NEVER disappoints
Yes Please do a Part 2 with Premium hotels! Thank you! And yes, having stayed in many hotels during our daughter's sports days, the free breakfasts were always much appreciated!
Honestly, I think free breakfast is more associated with the mid/low-tier that he featured in this video. Anytime I've stayed at higher end hotels, they did not provide free breakfast. They would have a restaurant inside that you'd pay for like any other sit down place.
@flips220 yes, but when traveling with a Volleyball or Basketball team, it was a balance between a nice place to stay for a reasonable price and a hasty breakfast before 8 am or spending hours and lots of money for a breakfast when you're in a hurry with 10 + hungry teens. So when we stay at a higher end hotel or resort, we are happy to pay for a leisurely and quality meal.
1. Based upon your experience, I would rank BW above True based simply on the yogurt section. Who wants yogurt from a machine.
2. AFAIK, virtually all hotels and motels are franchises and the brand company simply provides support, standards and basic oversight.
3. Great idea. Loved the video.
this video just saved me. i had Red Roof Inn stay booked but not paid for and then after watching this video, i got anxious and double checked the reviews and saw one from a WEEK ago that talked about it being INFESTED with roaches and flies. Turns out the nearby Holiday Inn Express was booking for only 130 dollars more in total for my five-night stay. Jumped on that as soon as I saw it, never looking back.
You really glazed right over that cinnamon roll at Holiday Inn Express. OK bad pun, but really those cinnamon rolls are fantastic. I’ve always loved HIE breakfast.
Yes! I’d book a Holiday inn express just for the cinnamon rolls
This is gonna sound crazy but I legitimately didn't see them until I was reviewing the footage 🤦🏻♂️ Punching air rn
I stay at Hampton, HIE and Fairifield not infrequently but the HIE i stay at the most never has bacon so you really lucked out =(
But if you think HIE breakfast in the US is good, try HIE in Asia... OMG... Going to be at HIE in Singapore for 8 nights in a row next year
most underrated youtuber on the platform, very creative but still sensible practical content. well done man
My grandpa owned a fairfield hotel and I stayed their with my cousins for every Christmas break. The breakfast buffet was something we always looked forward to, something worth noting is that they do have vegetarian patties along with their sausage patties!! you just have to ask them for it
As a semi-retired scientist and a person who has traveled all over the world, I really appreciate your reviews (over the Ryans and others on yt). You have great explanations and use more of a scientific approach. I just subbed to you. Not only out of appreciation, but respect.
See, this is the kind of late night program I would watch frequently, you learn something new and your delivery while detailing your results gets a few solid laughs from me. You earned my sub.

MISSED OPPORTUNITY
Fucking. Gold. 😂
😂😂
This is killing me😂
Opening a banana like that is savage 😄 Where is the biscuits and gravy at these hotels? 😄
I visited a holiday inn express in Panama city beach that had biscuits and gravy so there some small differences with each place
@@deniseheins2133 i’ve had it at Holiday Inn Express in Orlando
The Hampton I stay at in Rosemont near Ohare (Chicago) almost always has biscuits and gravy. Sometimes these like, pre-made omelet patty things as well. Biscuit, omelet, gravy combo slaps.
We stayed at a Holiday inn Express in Orangeburg that had biscuits and gravy and the best cinnamon rolls 🤤
When I've stayed multiple days at Holiday Inn Express, breakfast items changed daily. Sausage patties vs links, potatoes vs biscuits and gravy even scrambled egg vs omelets.
Being someone who solely books at Holiday Inn Express this makes me happy. Its always so consistent in my experiences no matter the location.
The Fairfield Inn is amazing! I stay at the Fairfield every other week when I travel for work. The breakfast and coffee is always incredible!
Stellar content as always Sam. You'll be in the top ten list you mentioned in no time and with the wuality and originality of youre videos i wouldnt be surprised if you make it to #1 some day.
As someone who is GF due to Celiac, I can't tell you how excited I got seeing that GF waffle maker!! It might be worth it for me to spend the extra 30 to stay there since I'd probably spend that on a GF meal having to go out for breakfast at another location. And that's not including the cost of my travel companion's food!
I would love to see a part 2 with premium hotels to see if any of them have a similar set up 😊
Still have to be careful, as I have got extremely sick from these "GF" waffle makers. You have to put a lot of trust in that noone put the regular batter in there, and the staff cleaning it. I ruined too many trips by trusting the GF waffle makers, so I don't even bother anymore.
Now being low carb on top of all that makes breakfast at most places impossible, but there are a few hotels that will accommodate. I visited a HIE once that was able to make grain free cinnamon rolls, and those were great!
The graph at the end was super interesting. Love the data analysis! My grandma is a holiday inn person, so I’ve been there a fair few times. I’ve never had a bad breakfast there.
Shoutout Grandma 🙌🏼
I used to travel for work a lot to industrial areas and always used the Holiday Inn Express and I would agree with your assessment. It’s a great value and their breakfast is awesome.
This is absolutely spot on. Dry humor, accurate, no drama and no bias… Just saying😊
The cinnamon rolls at Holiday Inn Express are awesome! I have always found the breakfast at Hampton Inns pretty consistent too.
The interesting thing about premium-class hotels is that you can often find them at or below the midscale hotels for all sorts of random reasons ('its the middle of winter and nobody is coming to this desolate hellscape except you', 'we are doing a renovation', and 'yeah sure why not, its 11:30PM and otherwise the room is just gonna be empty tonight') . I can tell you, though, that the straight-up breakfast winner in that category is Hyatt Place.
8:17 My friends and I used to get in trouble for making quesadillas in our college cafeteria’s waffle irons… The haters don’t want to see us use the waffle iron to its full potential!
"I could definitely hear a cat meowing as i ate" 😄 🤣
Bro your so genuine and deserve all the accolades you get man.
Great video! As a travel baseball mom, I have stayed at numerous hotels. The team and families value the importance of a good breakfast before the games. It seems they have been doing a good job choosing a hotel because they always choose one from the top half of your list. We usually stay at a Hampton Inn, a Best Western Plus, or a Holiday Inn Express. One breakfast that stands out was the Best Western Plus in Dubuque, Iowa. That was a pricier hotel but had a lot of extra features that were needed for a team who were over 6 hours away from their homes.
17:53 "am I saying that having a bad breakfast drives people to do crimes? Maybe!" ..i lost it. love the vibes, great videos, unique stories! keep em coming!
Sam is such an underrated youtuber.. bro delivers top tier content every damn time
Great video that'll help a lot in travels knowing who's got the good breakfast and who doesn't thank you😊
imho the only thing to look out for with holiday inn express is that they aren't connected to a restaurant. if they are, it's $$$$$ for breakfast. if they aren't, it's why I stay at them. as a diabetic, I can get breakfast and lunch out of their breakfast service. sometimes dinner, too.
My favorite has always been Embassy Suites. Great breakfast as they always have a chef that makes omelets
I love it when the hotel has real hashbrowns in a chafing dish 👌
Embassy Suites fall more under the premium brands of hotels... Which after doing a quick google search, some places are asking for $130+ a night... They better be making custom order omelets
Good luck in your quest to crack the top 10! You've come so far, I was here pretty early on and super impressed by your production quality even back then.
Hampton Inn gets a 90 alone just for the strawberry kiwi enhanced water. Its so refreshing 😂
Its pretty common at many of the hotels I've been at. Might just be lucky!
Loved all the factors, the graphs, my kinda review! Thanks. I'm definitely subscribing!
Free breakfast saves $ and also time. I rarely stay at a place that doesn’t have the free stuff, and the better ones do have the better breakfasts
I've worked in hotels for about 5 years, and you're spot on about franchisees having different items. Some brands will have very strict brand standards for hotels to follow, whereas some will have few or none. Choice, Marriot, and Hilton hotels are usually the strictest in terms of brand standards. Sometimes they'll go above and beyond the brand standards to set themselves apart from other hotels in the area. For example, we aren't required to provide hot items at our hotel, but we offer breakfast sausage nuggets in addition to the other continental items anyway. Some places will ignore brand standards entirely and offer no breakfast if they aren't worried about inspections. Coffee, waffles, yogurt, etc can also vary depending on if the hotel brand requires a certain coffee brand or not. If not, it's up to the hotel to work with their vendor to decide what coffee to get.
FWIW, Best Western is always my first choice for sleep quality. Dark room if desired and very good mattresses and cleanliness for the $$ .. I'm not a huge breakfast freak, but always fits the bill for me. I don't need a large room, just cozy and BW seems to fulfill.
Now THIS is peak journalism!
Excellent content as always
That Red Roof Inn matches my memory of staying at one years ago to a tee, so I suspect it is typical. That was also where I learned what a "continental breakfast" actually meant.
I haven't travelled for work for a few years, but I always booked a Hampton, and one of the main reasons was because I knew the breakfast would be decent. And for consistent lunch or dinner you can usually find an Applebee's in the neighborhood.
"Firmly securing last place" is a phrase you never want to hear Sam Reid saying about your establishment 💀
We stayed at a Ramada somewhere in the midwest that had a full omlet bar with a cook and everything when i was a teenager. Ive never been able to find another complimentary breakfast with that since.
This was so well put together and the pacing was amazing, didn't feel like skipping forward or off the video at any point! :-)
Please make more of these and also if you travel by air often, you should absolutely do videos covering some airport restaurants!
OK you literally EARNED my sub!! Loved this video and cant wait to binge watch your other vids!! Cheers!
Hampton Inn is my go to hotel. I think they offer a good breakfast and they have a rotating menu too so some days you get omelets and even biscuits and gravy.
Best hotel breakfast spread for me was a holiday inn in Miami where they had alot of stuff like fresh fruit, different juices and coffee, breads, cereal. Yogurt. Pastries like muffins and donuts but the cherry on top was a pancake conveyor belt where you drop your pancake in and it would come the other side already cooked
The best hotel breakfast I’ve ever had was in a Gillette, Wyoming, in August.
$61.47 for the room, eggs/sausage/bacon/waffles, fruit, baked goods, etc. The offerings vary by location!
Clutch when i was on a cross country trip.
Hi, please let me know the hotel name OR an address in Gillette?
Thank you!
@ dunno why it wasn’t in the comment, it was before. It’s the quality inn right off of I-90.
Thanks for sharing this. I'm a flight attendant so I know a lot about hotel breakfasts and Hampton is my favorite because they switch the hot meals from day to day. But a hotel with a real breakfast included, not just coffee and fruit but hot items
The comfort inn and suites vs regular comfort inn the suites has cookies and pop corn and free 2 different waters that are flavored during the afternoon and tons of breakfast options

Yoplait Yogurt, mini cinnibons, hard boiled eggs, scrabbled eggs, omelet center, waffle make, sausages, bacon, hash browns and applesauce.
wow, at a super 8? maybe they’re not as budget-focused up north.
@@adamj1367 I'm sure each location is different and who knows, if we went back to the same location it might not be as good.
In European hotels, the main staple for breakfast will be bread/rolls and cold cuts (ham, cheese etc.) and müsli/cereal, supplemented by eggs, bacon, waffles/pancakes and/or sweet baked goods (chocolate croissants etc.). And there will ALWAYS be Nutella. 😋
Awesome vid. I love the analysis; I wasn’t expecting it.
