Why the fuck are you sharing this information?
Why shouldn't they? O.o
I mean, it's pretty on topic?
This is funny as fuck ngl, he may be an asshole but this was just so unexpected while he kind of has a point
It's weird, I completely agree that's it's on topic but I also completely agree with questioning why he's sharing this...
Holiday Inn has hijacked the user's mind and using them to advertise. Insidious!
Many others in the thread talked about their hotels that give them a bagged egg and stale cereal, so I decided to share my relatively consistent experience with a hotel chain. These forms are the last place for hopefully actual reviews/information. The alternatives are ad-infected paid 'reviews' or a pile of google/yelp reviews that basically amount to "if I could give 0 stars I would because the hotel internet went down during a hurricane" or "10/10 recommend"
Is Holiday inn the cheapest option? no. Is it possible I've just lucked out with the ones in my region? yes.
But clearly some people value breakfast at hotels, and I choose to share an option in detail.
