I'm not saying I abuse the breakfast benefit as others have hinted, just saying that is what the hotel provides and the breakfast bill can add up here.

I stand corrected on the fruit plate indeed its 9/14 and not 14/19 dont know where I got the 14/19 from.
I wasnt picking on any 1 person, but I have no qualms if a person would indeed on their own dime order the eggs with crab. And yes relooking at the menu I saw where +$12 was indicated didnt see it before you pointed it out. Now if plenty reg guests who are paying actually order the eggs and crab and pay out of pocket for it then Im sure it wouldnt raise a flag when the hotel views what Globalists are ordering. On the other hand if few if any order and pay for it then the hotel will find that only Globalists are ordering it and then would simply have 2 menus 1 for those paying and 1 for those whom get bkfst comped., its not the crab alone but the hotel should see how many folks bill are >$100. Or maybe its just me where just cause something is free doesnt mean I have to partake or if I choose to, to max it out for all I can.
And yes $4.50 for the OJ and $5.50 for a cup of coffee is nuts.No way would I pay those prices, yet alone pay for any item on their menu, could be the actual cost to the hotel is so little that they dont care
and if a reg breakfast for you everyday is OJ,coffee, eggs with crab or meat and a yogurt then I have no problems with you getting it here
