Would you be surprised to find only continental breakfast available at Holiday Inn Express hotels when the brand advertises hot breakfast items such as pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon on their website? Show
A reader sent us a copy of an announcement left in their guest room at a Holiday Inn Express hotel in the UK. You can access IHG here. READ MORE: IHG One Rewards Rate & Bonus Points Offers The Entire Note:No AC:The upper part of the announcement dealt with the fact that this hotel apparently doesn’t have an AC. Only Continental Breakfast:The lower part was about the new and exciting trial, undoubtedly for the hotel owners that wish to cut costs, about the move to only continental breakfast at this specific hotel. Here’s the essential part of the text:
We were in touch with IHG, which didn’t want to comment on this subject and whether they plan to roll out this “enhancement” to all Holiday Inn Express hotels worldwide. Hot breakfast is vital to many guests, and IHG has strongly promoted this as part of the Holiday Inn Express experience. It would be quite a drastic move to move to a motel-style breakfast with some stale cold items instead of a full hot breakfast. UPDATE: What makes this trial more fascinating is that the corporate was heavily promoting Holiday Inn Express to the press in June:
Conclusion Many choose some of these select service hotels since they offer complimentary hot breakfast to all guests. The hot complimentary breakfast has been the cornerstone of the Holiday Inn Express brand. It would be very drastic to discontinue this and move entirely cold prepackaged items. I hope that guests who come across this and other similar trials let the management know how displeased they are and book elsewhere on future visits to the area.
