Hotel Biscuits

AIBU to think that the availability and standard of hotel room biscuits has declined significantly?

There was once a time when you could at the very least rely on a solid, standard biscuit, like a bourbon or a custard cream. Now you’re lucky if you get any at all.

More expensive places used to give you a home baked cookie in a fancy bag tied with a bow. Now you get bought in standard conference room biscuits at best.

Big up to the Premier Inn though - their premium rooms had Green & Blacks chocolate last time I stayed.

Maybe I need to get over this shit.

AIBU?

Morgan’s Hotel in Swansea has Welsh cakes, chocolates and other goodies in the room The toiletries are Molton Brown

I know - these little things make a difference to people.

First it was our little bottles of half decent toiletries, not our biscuits. What’s next? Premier Inn have started making you collect your own tea and milk from reception- hotels better not be thinking of getting rid of these!

@Blarn Travelodge are a bit basic. Lady time I stayed in one there were pubes on the shower wall 🤢🤢

Not a good choice to dunk in your tea

I don't stay in hotels often but when I do they seem to be some kind of upmarket oaty thing with chocolate chips in. I would be very disappointed if there were no biscuits at all!

I've always liked shortbread fingers as the biscuit. The last Park Plaza I was in was biscuit free but they did have hot chocolate so that was OK, I appreciate the hot chocolate sachets.

I stayed in a Travelodge for the first time ever a couple of weeks ago. There were no biscuits but the bathroom also smelt faintly of piss...

I expect it costs them little but has the capacity to buy goodwill and brand loyalty.

I remember the Radisson Blu in Glasgow City Centre had Tunnock's Caramel Wafers in the rooms when I stayed there for work about ten years ago. I still think about it now 😊

Not really necessary. OP is on a chat forum so can post about whatever they want.

We stayed at a Premier Inn Plus room last night. Green and Blacks chocolate was on the drinks tray. It felt like a real treat. And yes, I DO need to get out more 🙆🏻‍♀️
