“Breakfast included in this price” is it more cost effective to have breakfast included?

Do you always select to have breakfast included?

I never have but would be willing to try it this time. It’s about $242 more than the non-breakfast option. I’m somewhat torn.

Wtf? Why would you pay 242 dollars for breakfast?

Do the math and make a case by case decision

+1. We often choose this option but not for $242 more!

Depends on the breakfast and what’s around the hotel. If it’s in an area that has cafes etc for east breakfast, I wouldn’t. If the hotel is remote and it’s basically the only option, then I would add. It usually works out cheaper than ordering a la carte or paying separately for breakfast. Also, it depends what 242$ is: is this additional charge per night? Additional on total? What’s the total without breakfast and what are your other options for breakfast?

Usually hotel breakfast is more expensive or has lower quality than something at a nearby cafe. You are also restricted for hours and location. Also it’s buffet and you may just want a little bit of one item.
I never pay extra for breakfasts. In the US they are especially bad in terms of cost quality ratio imho

How many people and how many days? 2 days and 2 people, definitely not. 10 days and 6 people, probably yes if we couldn't get groceries.

There are 6 people in our family, so 242 dollars would be cost effective if it was a multi day stay and we could make breakfast our big meal and have a small lunch somewhere during our activities.

You really haven’t given us enough detail about your circumstances to know.

I like to include breakfast just because it’s easier and usually pretty flexible. But I definitely wouldn’t pay $242 more for breakfast - that’s crazy high and I’m usually happy with coffee and a yogurt.

$242 covers how many people for how many days?

that's not nearly enough information. How many people for how many nights? Is that total or per night more?

no

It's the platonic ideal of a certain kind of post. Broad question with zero detailed information to allow any reasonable response.

Op here. I calculated it from the total cost overall compared to selecting a room without the breakfast included. Hotel is in Paris so not remote and this would be for two adults for 5 days. Dinner is not included in the selection. I figure the equivalent of sitting and eating at a full service restaurant but a cafe for quick pastry/croissant is always cheaper.

The other thing to consider is your eating habits on vacation. DH and I have come to realize that we prefer two big meals rather than 3 smaller meals on vacation. So we eat a big breakfast, then maybe get a snack around 3 pm, and then are ready for a big dinner around 6 pm.
