I prefer cold boiled eggs to hot powdered eggs, for sure!
Usually, yes, but at the La Quinta Santa Ana, CA (the one on Hotel Terrace), the eggs are unshelled.

And even when you do, while made to order are not from powdered eggs, it's still hard to tell whether they're from whole eggs pre-broken on-site or from commercial liquid eggs mixes. (They're typically pouring from a container into the pan, rather than cracking eggs on the spot.)
Two mid level hotels next to the La Qunita I just mentioned, the Quality Inn next door and the Best Western across the street, have made to order hot breakfasts. The Quality Inn does it in front of you, and includes omelettes as an option. The Best Western does the cooking out of sight and doesn't typically offer omelttes but does ofter a couple styles of cooked eggs.
Of note: All of these hotels are also half a block away from a giant Embassy Suites, which standardly has cooked-to-order omelettes/etc (if you have the time to wait for that one station; they also have a buffet which is much quicker). Most other Best Westerns and most other Quality Inns do not have made-to-order hot eggs.
