Most I would not consider, but I would (if I did ) go for Embassy Suites' cooked to order full breakfast!

I stayed at the Embassy Suites in Boca Raton, and invited some (local) friends out for dinner. We met at the hotel before going to dinner. Embassy Suites offers a "manager's reception" consisting of free drinks every evening.

I (as a guest) did not have any problem. My friends also got a drink, but when they offered to pay the bartender, they were told "The drinks are free for guests!" - they tried to pay, but was told otherwise!
