Whereas having a decent breakfast is a great benefit.
Considering it can be a fairly substantial meal to set you up for the day.
Whereas I am unlikely to stay much beyond midday in any hotel.
I guess the only benefit might be if I have an evening flight - but then I would rather be relaxing in the airport lounge with a drink or two than sitting in a room.
