Before I share the story behind it (to make sure I’m not completely off base), what do you consider to be reasonable for a continental breakfast at a major hotel chain in the US? Juice? Coffee? Toast? Pastries? Cereal? Yogurt? Fruit? One or two of those? Something totally different?
I’m curious about this one…

I am proud to say that at the Rodeway Inn in Imperial, Ca we serve coffee, tea, boiled eggs, cereal either frosted flakes or raisin bran, danishes, muffins, breakfast bars, pop tarts,and fruits. on ocasion we offer yogurts and gelatin. Not to mention the variety of hot chocolate,oatmeal or apple cider packages we have for a hot beverage. N.A M.M
Oh, I forgot we also serve at least 2 fruits,usually Apple's and bananas, or apples and oranges and 4 variety of oatmeal and four kinds of cereal.

Milk and water. Bagel's:plain and cinnamon raisin. Toast white and wheat. Mini muffins usually banana nut, lemon poppy and blueberry. Along with condiments:margarine,jellies regular and sugar free,cream cheeses regular and strawberries. Make yourself vanilla waffles with regular and blueberry syrup also maple sugar free syrup. Biscuits and sausage gravy are complimented as the best they've had by avid fellow travelers. Sausage patties and cheese omelets. We've also experimented with change up with eggs, scrambled and fried eggs. To try to please the majority of our guests. I try to serve biscuits and gravy, omelets and sausage patties all weekend. One person is usually serving breakfast at our hotel of 84 rooms. It will keep you hopping to clean,cook, and stock plus be a good host to get to know people. I love meeting people and love my job. Most the time I hear from guests that they are surprised at the wide range off choices for breakfast and most are happy with it.
There is no such words as a US Continental breakfast. But over in Europe where i stayed a lot durring my service in the military a continental breakfast consisted of one or two eggs usually soft or hard steamed, slices of deli meats and cheese, 3 or 4 inch rolls, coffee, juice, and jellies.
At our historic hotel we offer the following for continental breakfast: bagels, muffins, danish, cereal, oatmeal, coffee, tea, hot cocoa, oj, cream cheese, butter, jelly, yoghurt, bananas and oranges. Unfortunately a lot of people still believe this is not enough selection for a continental breakfast.
