I don't know about others, but the Homewood Suites I got have full fledged dinners. I typically go to the one in San Diego-Del Mar and the one in Anaheim/Garden Grove when I can get a state rate.
San Diego-Del Mar typically has ravioli (not the cheap kind...the ones that are about 3 times the size as canned one), two different sauces (white/red), a very, very good homemade minestone soup (love their soup), a simple salad and garlic bread. My experience is that every single day (M-T), there is no way I have to go out and fetch dinner. Homewood suites is my new first choice because of the apartment like space (full frig/mic), free DSL and the fabulous dinner. No itty bitty crappy popcorn and veggies here!!!!
