Commenting on the findings, Hilton’s Bill Duncan said: “Hilton’s brands that offer free hot breakfast allow guests to enjoy breakfast favourites that are oftentimes reserved for special occasions. With the added bonus of convenience, it saves guests both time and money, allowing them to make the most of their vacations or time on the road.”

Only 19% of those surveyed say they have time to eat breakfast daily, even though 79% feel more productive after having a morning meal.
