The national, statistically valid survey was completed for Baymont Inns Suites by Opinion Research Corporation. Figures ranged dramatically between various age groups. 

Only 36 percent of adults between 18-24 indicated they eat breakfast while on the road, while nearly twice as many (59 percent) of the surveyed adults in the 65-plus category eat breakfast while traveling.

Although personal time seems to be even more limited while on the road, 44 percent of travelers, on average, take at least 15 minutes for breakfast and another 18 percent spend between 11 and 15 minutes prior to beginning the day. When asked why travelers miss breakfast on the road, results revealed lack of time (41 percent) and inconvenience (24 percent) were the top reasons.

Tomorrow, Baymont Inns Suites invites the general public to enjoy a free breakfast as part of a simultaneous grand opening at 160`properties nationwide. The nationwide lodging chain offers its guests free breakfast as among its more than 30 amenities and services.

To mark the completion of its nationwide re-branding, Baymont Inns, Inc. is simultaneously opening its doors to local residents, employees of nearby companies and government officials in each of its communities.  In addition to free breakfast, visitors will receive special promotional offers and have an opportunity to tour the 
properties.
 
"The company expects thousands of people to take advantage of Baymont Inns & Suites' offer and to see firsthand the fresh new look and amenities of our new national lodging chain. We are very proud of our  product," said Marcus.
 
In addition to the simultaneous grand opening breakfast events, Baymont Inns & Suites is undergoing an extensive multimedia marketing, sales and advertising campaign, national newspaper and television ad placements.  The company also is unveiling its frequent stay program, Club Baymont, where travelers stay 12 nights, and get the 13th night free.   During this promotion, each Baymont Inns & Suites location will offer Club Baymont cards with bonus credits for two nights, allowing travelers to earn their free night even faster.
