primarily because my travel buddy wanted a really good hotel and there was a deal on flight + 5 star hotel. This was to Brussels. The seats were excellent, particularly on the flight home and the hotel really was a step up. Usually, I don't care as long as the rooms are clean and the location is good. I hate spending any more time in a hotel than just sleeping and showering/dressing. I am up and out. What I did miss was an included breakfast, which I really like, because they usually have a variety of fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal and some hot dishes. I had to settle for a croissant, juice and coffee served in the hotel bar/lounge since their buffet breakfast cost 25 euros and that was just too much.
