Sorry to resurrect an old thread.
This is pretty similar to ours. I think it's probably below average in terms of leeway, but do you think this level of meal allowance is fairly common?
Since I almost exclusively stay at Hilton where my status gets me free breakfast, breakfast's a non-issue.
But I'm often having to go over limit for lunch and pay a few bucks out of pocket.
