Why Early Breakfast Matters
Tournament games often start early — 7:30 or 8:00 AM is common. A hotel breakfast that does not open until 7:00 AM is useless. You need a hotel that serves hot breakfast by 6:30 AM so kids can eat, digest, and be at the venue on time.
Properly fueled athletes play better. A real breakfast with eggs, waffles, fruit, and protein is far better than a granola bar eaten in the car. Hotels that understand tournament schedules open early and provide grab-and-go options for teams rushing to games.
