A Continental breakfast will contain traditional American breakfast cuisine. Pancakes, eggs and meat are just a few items.  Often you will find cereal, bagels and fruit at continental breakfasts. Hotels that offer continental breakfast include the price of their meal into the price of the room. A hotel often provides a continental breakfast in the lobby or a room near the lobby.

Most offer tables and chairs where guests can sit and eat, or they could take their breakfast back to their rooms or elsewhere.

Dining at a continental breakfast

There is a normal time period when the food will be served. One of our favorites serve both a evening meal, bedtime snack and continental breakfast all of which is served at certain times. Guests who wait til the end should expect that the supply of some items might be gone. Remember that guest should not take extra large portions as this is considered poor manners. The breakfast is provided to be a quick meal not a full meal that will satisfy an appetite for hours to come
