Also it's kind of crappy that they provide a free shuttle from the airport to the hotel, but you gotta pay like 5 euro to go take the shuttle from the hotel to the airport. Since I was there multiple days they sold a 3 day shuttle pass for 10 euro, I just went with that.
Interesting that the Ramada brand in the Netherlands doesn't provide free breakfast. Obviously, Wyndham is entirely inconsistent on this. You have to look at the website and, sometimes, contact the hotel directly. I was in Budapest last year and there was a choice between a Ramada and a partner brand called H2. The properties looked comparable, but it seemed like the H2 provided free breakfast and the Ramada didn't. I emailed them to confirm. We wound up getting an almost-restaurant quality free breakfast buffet at the H2.
In Santiago Chile, I stayed at the airport La Quinta and got a free breakfast better than the US properties (and Chilean breakfasts are usually pretty bad). In New Zealand, though, no free breakfast at a La Quinta.
Interestingly, I find Holiday Inn Express more consistent. While the concepts are a bit different in each country, I always get a free buffet breakfast from them. Wyndham doesn't seem to care as much about brand standardization. They're happy to just slap the name on the hotel.
