I always appreciated having a complimentary breakfast available in my hotel when I traveled. I'm old enough to remember having to find a restaurant for breakfast when traveling. That took more time and it was easy to order more breakfast than you really needed. Funny how many things this is going to change that we're not even thinking about yet.
