Guest Biscuits - where they gone?
Discussion
This, I grant you, is a trivial point in these turbulent times but needs airing none the less!
As a regular stayer in business type hotels, I've noticed a gradual withdrawal of guest biscuits over the past year. After a long drive, I always looked forward to a borborn or custard cream with my UHT milk infused brew...but no more.
I was informed today by the staff of the Holiday Inn in Chester that the Intercontinental Group previously spent in excess of $1m annually, worldwide on such perks and decided that it was money they need not spend any more.
Bah bleedin' humbug!

Oddly enough whilst in Morrisons this week I came across packs of small biscuits that previously I'd only seen with coffee in pubs and restauarants - you'll have to get your fix there!
ETA: I hope they reduced your room rate by the cost of two biscuits!

You are obviously staying in the wrong type of establishment. The place I stayed at last week had a decanter full of whiskey in my room that I was entitled to have as much of as I want.
Stayed in similar - decanters of whisky, brandy and gin in the bar in the suite, help yourself.bazking69 said:
I can't say I have ever eaten the complementary bisquits at a hotel. If they look decent they sometimes go in the pocket for a later occasion, but i've never arrived at a hotel looking forward to the free biscuit!
depends where you stay. theres a place i sometimes go with work that have amazing homemade biscuits. i usually stash them for a couple of days then eat them in one go, and nick them from colleagues rooms at every opportunity!Gassing Station | Food, Drink & Restaurants | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
