The last time I stayed in a Super 8 was in Colorado, and the breakfast was
an assortment of cheap breads, cheap English muffins and bagel looking
things with a squeeze bottle of margarine and squeeze bottle of grape jelly
and weak coffee with some sort of liquid whitener, not cream. Compare that
to the cheapest hotel we stayed at in France, in Verdun. The room, was only
$50 for the night and included a buffet with fresh croissants, fresh
baguettes, great coffee, boiled eggs, a selection of cold cuts and cheeses,
yoghurt and orange juice.

At that same hotel we ordered a three course meal. My wife ordered the
shrimp and avocado salad, which I expected to be half an avocado with a few
shrimps in it, but turned out to be a huge serving of shrimp salad with at
least one whole large avocado and at least a dozen good sized shrimp in the
shell on top. My Tourte Lorraine was about 6" in diameter and two inched
deep, a thick wad of sausage meat on the bottom and topped with a rich
cheesy custard. We were full by the time the steaks came, and they were
huge strip steaks. I could not finish mine.

Pity that you ate on the cheap. We ate well there, and for far less that it
would cost to eat in an equivalent restaurant here.
