About a month ago, we held Beat The Internet Breakfasts in multiple AOL offices.
Marriott's extended-stay brand, Residence Inn, where Internet access, breakfast and evening cocktails are included in the rates, recently upgraded its room design and expanded its breakfast menus so that weekday guests would not have the same cereal or scrambled egg selections every day.
Hotels are also looking to improve their bottom lines by increasing fees for extras like Internet access, breakfast and parking.
There is a rooftop terrace where you can get cheap drinks, and internet and breakfast are included.
The rooms are minimalist, modern design with satellite TV and internet, while breakfast is not served in the B&B itself, but at the Cafe Coloniale.
Bert Rowland, a Los Angeles estate manager, stays in Las Vegas on business at the Element Hotel in nearby Summerlin, which provides Internet access, breakfast, evening cocktails, loaner bicycles and occasional poolside barbecues, as well as coffee and tea throughout the day.
The decor is a plush mix of chic Italian and African art, there is TV and music, but no internet, and breakfast is very much Italian-style, with brioches and croissants.
You can find more transgressive and troublingly icky sex on the internet before breakfast than will pass before the MPAA ratings board in the next century (they're even getting to "fifth base" on The Mindy Project, meaning nowadays the most offensive thing about the butter sequence in Last Tango In Paris is the saturated fats).
Companies are also often asking or searching for free amenities like wireless Internet and breakfast in order to optimise their budgets.
If you've ever traveled in places like Southeast Asia, or found Airbnb's quality to be lacking, then you'll understand why guarantees around clean sheets, towels, reliable internet and breakfast are important.
