In reply to the discussion: Hotel chain bans bacon and sausage from breakfast menu [View all]A HERETIC I AM
(24,876 posts)As a commercial driver who has stayed in thousands of hotels over the years on 3 continents, almost every one of the lower 48, 2 Canadian provinces and 2 Hawaiian islands, I can assure you that categorizing Knights Inn as a Truckers Dump does a disservice to actual dumps.
I have had to stay at one on occasion, but most trucking firms that pay for a hotel for their drivers are not putting them up in Knights Inns.
And FWIW, a Comfort Inn isn't that much of an upgrade. Your eggs in the morning If they offer them) will likely have been laid and cracked weeks and weeks ago, packaged in a vacuum sealed plastic bag and delivered by SYSCO or a similar firm. In the morning they are heated up in the microwave, usually to the point that they start to separate and give up the water which will pool in the bottom of the pan they serve them in. Likewise, the bacon and sausage will have been cooked in a massive commercial kitchen somewhere far from your hotel and reheated for you.
Bon Appetit'.
Next time spend a few more bucks and go down the road to the Embassy Suites. They will cook your breakfast to order right in front of you.
