+1 Furthermore they are usually setting up breakfast 30 to 45 minutes before it officially starts. So just ask politely and I am sure they will let you take something from what is setup so far.
When going to the Duck, NC last summer, we left before the 6:00 AM breakfast started, and they were fine with us grabbing a few items to go. Mention it at check in and see if they can do anything for you. I find most limited service properties, especially FI's, to be fairly accommodating. YMMV...
