Marriott Introduces New Breakfast Options at 4 Brands

As COVID-19 spread across the country and impacted the travel industry, many hotel brands were quick to eliminate breakfast options, instead opting to offer simple to-go packages or forgoing breakfast at all.

Now, Marriott is reintroducing breakfast to 4 of their brands, and offering a more premium experience for the morning meal.

Brands With New Breakfast Options

Starting this October, and slowly ramping up throughout the fall and winter, Marriott will begin to offer new breakfast options at these 4 brands:

These tend to be lower-end brands in the Marriott portfolio, with 3 of the 4 being extended-stay hotels intended for longer business trips or situations where you need more apartment-like amenities.

What’s on the Menu

Besides offering Rainforest Certified Coffee, these brands will offer breakfast items that meet 3 main criteria — quality ingredients, customizable meals, and sustainable and environmentally friendly products.

Moving beyond the days of powdered eggs, Marriott is hoping to offer more items appealing to the modern traveler, including:

Warm breakfast sandwiches
Spinach and cheese crustless quiche
Sausage, egg, and cheese on a whole-wheat bagel
Jalapeno cheddar baked soufflé
Fresh fruit and gluten-free selections

Beyond these items, you’ll also find make-your-own options, including yogurt bowls where you can add toppings, or build-your-own breakfast sandwiches with a variety of sauces and salsas. There will be options to customize your meal to have a more personalized and fresh experience. Previously, breakfast selections were more one-size-fits-all, but now there’s an opportunity to grab a base, add toppings, and enjoy it the way you want to.

To help support the environment, Marriott promises cage-free eggs, sustainably-raised pork, and certified coffee, among a number of other measures.

Bottom Line: The new breakfast offerings will initially start with a few select hotels and then roll out to the broader portfolio over the next few months, so don’t expect these new enhancements in every hotel right away.

Final Thoughts

While these new breakfast items certainly aren’t going to put these hotels on the map with their 5-star counterparts, it’s nice to see an improvement to an otherwise stale offering. These properties tend to cater to longer-stay crowds, so having an upgraded meal on a stay beyond just a few nights will certainly be well-appreciated and make the experience feel much more premium.

This is really lacking in execution due to supply chain issues. The Residence Inn we are at has maybe 1/2 of the items purportedly on the menu. This has resulted in a very limited, boring breakfast for long term travelers. My #1 question is “What breakfast item do you put BBQ sauce on?”

In concept, this sounds like a good thing however in reality it is not as impressive. The quality is fairly lacking especially in the manner of taste and appearance. I also find the hotels normally put out one option maybe two of the hot items for the morning. Oatmeal and fresh fruit have been hit or miss. Ive stayed roughly 20 nights so far this year at three different properties and it has been the same.

As a long time employee of Marriott and Marriott properties, (11 years) I can tell you that the person behind the front desk (at least here) is just as unhappy with this “upgraded change” as the guest, After all, we are the ones that use amenities and general niceties to sell the place. Now what are we supposed to say, “Good morning! How is your Jimmy Dean microwaved breakfast biscuit?”
Come on Marriott! It’s embarrassing as a desk manager and employee. It’s May of 22 and you’re still using the pandemic as an excuse?
