Breakfast? Wow. I ran into the no-daily-rate exception at the HR Austin last fall at an even busier weekend - Halloween and the Formula One race. The package that weekend included only these extras: internet, a bottle of water, a newspaper, and turndown service.

I had a lovely stay at the Hyatt Place downtown instead.
