Yes, these ‘free’ breakfasts are really quite expensively acquired in money terms but also in being bound to a particular chain (or stuck in a dreary lounge) thereby giving up your freedom of choice. While it’s not usually very practical for a one night business trip, we increasingly find Airbnbs (or similar) offer far better accommodation and far better value than these soulless chains.
The freedom/ability simply to choose the most suitable accommodation in any given place is not only liberating but a better and more comfortable overall experience.
