But is generally offered if breakfast is still in progress when you check in. I haven't done one of these Covid-related day use things but in prior years when we did a day use, usually near an overseas airport upon arrival, we were always allowed a free breakfast if available.

But yes, IME you can get free breakfast if you show up in time (and the timing of the day rate overlaps with breakfast hours)

It does involve a bit of messing around if the hotel restaurant has a list of those entitled to free breakfast, since a day use rate guest isn't on the list.

Hilton has confirmed to me, since we are doing some editorial on this, that breakfast is NOT officially part of this.
That said, hotels and even different check-in staff treat you differently based on my experience, and I've done about 15 of these over the last couple of months.

Just a further confirmatory data point that I was offered breakfast last week for my day room (explicitly as a diamond benefit)
