Continental Breakfast
During the months of May through September we offer a light continental breakfast at the Roosevelt Inn. Originally, a continental breakfast meant nothing more than a roll -- usually having a hard crust -- and a drink, i.e. coffee or tea. Nothing more! (Definition) Unfortunately, most Americans don't know what a real continental breakfast is. They think it ought to include extras like fruit, cereal, milk and juice. Indeed, some properties do include such fare and call the result a continental breakfast. We don't. Our continental breakfast is closer to the traditional meaning, that being basically rolls, donuts, etc., and either coffee or tea.
Sometimes we hear complaints from parents who say we don't offer anything for the children because we don't provide juice, milk or cereal. This is true. Any continental breakfast, ours included, does not meet the nutritional needs of growing children. Do your kids a favor and buy them a real breakfast at a restaurant. Keystone has several good restaurants offering full breakfasts at reasonable prices.
Our point is that if you book with us and all you want is a light breakfast, you will be fine.
A final note: The South Dakota Department of Health treats motels that serve anything other than a basic continental breakfast like restaurants. That is, motels are required to meet additional licensing requirements that include extra food handling equipment and staff training. The result is that a majority of properties in Keystone do not offer any breakfast -- continental or otherwise. In the 2007 season, only the Best Western and the Holiday Inn Express motels in Keystone offered expanded breakfasts.
