Not sure if I am posting in the right section or not. Mods feel free to move it/me if need be.
Hubby and I took the boys on a short vacation and stayed with my sister in Fl this last week. We took an extra day coming home and did some more sightseeing on the way home. We stopped over in Tifton, Ga and against both our better judgements, stayed at a hotel that was slightly less than our standards normally require. The biggest factor in our choosing that hotel was that they had a 24 hour pool/spa and a nice hot breakfast included, and the price was about $35-$45 less than other hotels.
The room was decent/clean. Nothing fancy, but hey, after sleeping on a sofa bed for nearly a week, the bed slept like a dream. Couldn't even hear the neighbors on either side of us, so that was a plus, too.
We got up at a decent hour the next morning, showered/dressed and headed over to the breakfast room. Lordy! IHOP sure looked good from about the moment we got there. The server/cook was offensive right off the bat. Instead of any type of uniform, she had on a t-shirt and jeans. That in itself wasn't so much sucky as what her t-shirt said. Something about getting an arm or leg where it didn't cost an arm/leg. Yep, a t-shirt about purchasing prosthetics!
Then, she ran out of plates (styrofoam ones) before even 1/3 of the folks there got to eat. We all then had to eat from the little tiny dessert sized plates--even if you had a waffle! All the grits were gone. She couldn't keep eggs cooked (they were the best part of the meal, honestly! I decided I'd get a waffle cooked, since how can you mess up that? Well, apparently, she didn't like it that we were all setting the little empty individual cups of waffle batter down beside the iron. She stomped up behind me, grabbed the 3 sitting there, and huffed off back into her room. I was absolutely appalled!
She didn't prepare any more coffee. Hubby and I each got 1 small cup. Oldest son might have gotten some, too. Not sure. No cups left for the kids to get any juice or milk. She was so totally not prepared for this breakfast group.
At 9:30 on the nose, she started picking all the food items up. Single donuts/a last sausage link, a piece of bread, everything!
The manager of the hotel finally came over and had to demand she prepare more coffee. Apparently, she didn't want to because we witnessed him go prepare the coffee.
Is this normal for hotel breakfasts? We've not had a lot of dealings with them, but the few times we have, they've always been fantastic and this one just absolutely sucked!
