It's been years since I've counted on getting a breakfast I actually want from the "free" (included in the price) buffet at limited-service hotels. That said, it's frustrating that breakfast offerings have gone even further downhill. I carry protein bars with me as my baseline breakfast and consider it a treat if I find anything I want to eat instead of/in addition to that at the hotel's breakfast spread. I choose hotels now not based on what I expect the breakfast offerings to be but on whether I can count on them having a fridge/freezer and microwave in the room and how convenient they are to a grocery store. Thus I'm shifting slightly more to RI over CY/FI-- not for the better breakfast but for the kitchenette.
