Best to just Priceline it!

Taking my dad on a road trip to see the canyons in southern Utah. The schedule called for an overnight stay at St. George, so I looked in the usual places and found that there are many hotels. I also saw a Country Inn & Suites for a reasonable $80. Although I knew I could probably get some 2* or even 2.5* on Priceline for about $50, I decided to conventionally book the Country Inn & Suites because of my experience with this brand in Sunnyvale, CA - second home of WzDancer. Mainly because that location serves a wonderful breakfast, which is important to my dad.

Boy, what a disappointed this turned out to be. The room was fine and the Internet connection incredibly fast. But the came breakfast. A world apart from the Sunnyvale hotel. Disgusting egg and meat patties, some stale bagels and toast bread, juice with chlorine-water aftertaste. A small basket with 3 bananas and a couple of apples. It was the quality and selection of what you would expect and one of the low-end Best Western motels.

Bottom line: forget brand loyalty. The experience at one location will not necessarily be consistent with another. So best to just Priceline it, get whatever you get for half the money, then go spend the difference at an expensive breakfast restaurant.
