How is it possible to make something as vile as this material they call “Smart Roast Coffee” in my room at the Holiday Inn Express? Does no one complain that it tastes nothing like coffee, manages somehow to be both bland and bitter, and seems to offer very little in the way of that caffeine kick that one would think is the reason for making it available?
It’s not just this hotel (in Live Oak, Florida). It’s in every Holiday Inn Express I’ve stayed at in recent years.
I like the Holiday Inn Express, for the most part. And the weird thing is, the coffee they serve with the free breakfast downstairs is, well, acceptable. (The food at in those breakfast rooms doesn’t do much for me, but I’m used to that.)
I’ve had that same experience with that hotel-room coffee stuff. It’s like they’re intentionally trying to poison us caffeine addicts – a Holiday Inn hotshot of sorts.
