- A review of The Westin Pasadena Hotel Breakfast. You won't believe how expensive this breakfast was. Quite possibly the most expensive Hotel breakfast in the world and also one of the worst. Everything about this hotel was terrible. Take a look for yourself. If you are visiting Los Angeles then I'd highly advise that you give this a miss.

What annoys me the most is before tip it’s $92 dollars and they still have to tip to pay so the server gets a wage.. why can’t the owners pay their staff… they make enough..
Yeah, the tipping culture puts me right off America!!
A wetherspoons breakfast looks way better than that overpriced one.
I think Lee was completely spot on. That breakfast looked below average to start, and the price point just appalling.
@@nigelwatson2750 mmm those sausages looked like chiwawas🤣🤣🤣🤣
You get what you pay for. The Westin is a mediocre hotel. I never would recommend anyone stay there. The area is not safe either. I live a mile from there. You can get shot in that area.
Yeh
The reason why the bacon was stuck together was because it was just chucked in the deep fat fryer along with the potatoes,heart attack on a plate especially if they give you the bill with the food at the same time.
We’ve always said we don’t mind paying for quality,we wouldn’t have paid for that lol.
The sad thing Is the Americans that stay here and worse still my brother who moved there from Ireland would also justify this defensively.
It’s vulgar and outrageous - well done lee on exposing what it’s like …
And having to give a big tip on top because they won’t pay their staff properly and expect you to pay it !
I am American, and live a mile from the Westin hotel. It’s a crappy over priced hotel. I never recommend it. MacMaster wanted to save money. There are way better hotels in the area over the Westin. They could have done a nice Airbnb for the same money. I’ve traveled in Japan many times, hotels are way better priced than the USA. They are cleaner and offer free full course breakfast. No tipping also. Most hotels here are a joke, dirty and filthy. Only Las Vegas offer nice Hotels to stay in. By the way I can tell you dislike Americans. It’s okay, I dislike most Americans myself, they are big mouth obnoxious self centered people. 😢
I call it AWS - Automatic Wage Subsidy. It is all wrong. Cruise ships are the same, they want the customer to subsidize the wages.
@@lesliecarter8322 also, wages were raised during Covid. A waitress/waiter can make at least $22.00 an hour and up. They use to make $10-12.00 an hour before Covid. So tipping should be 10% maximum today, not 15-20%. I tip less at restaurants now. When I got my job in 2010 I made $16.00 an hour doing graphic design that I got a degree in, the economy was bad. I was laid off in 2019 at $22 an hour. Now a waitress/waiter makes more than I did and I paid allot for college degree. 😉
Beyond words Lee, just shocking. They should be in jail for charging that.
You could've bought a return flight on Jet2 to Tenerife for that! 😂
Breakfast looked like it had been thrown at the plate from a distance! Bizarre.
It looked like a lacquered museum exhibit!
Looked like a breakfast with Poundland food thrown onto it.
You can Teach Martin to Do facial expressions on demand - But you Can’t Teach him to BE QUIET whilst your talking?? 😂
That breakfast looked awful , stick to the full English in England !
Martin spoiled this one by being so defensive about the clearly outrageous price. By offering to pay for it doesn't help things.
Have to agree with you Lee food wasn’t great looking apart from the eggs . The prices were outrageous. Even a bowl of cereal was 8 dollars what a ripoff 👍🏴
I spotted that too. Along with the muffin or Danish and choice of a single piece of fruit for $16 - These places are utterly taking the piss. Yet people like Lee's mate justify the prices and cough up, meaning the theft continues.
Looked awful that Lee, well over cooked and looked like it had been standing overnight, regarding the bill, outrageous.
It's goes to show you cant beat a true full ENGLISH BREAKFAST LEE 👌👌
My Wife and I watched in shock as you showed the disappointing breakfast.
The price,
Oh My Goodness!!..
Disgusting..
Thank you Lee for showing your loyal viewers how it actually is.
America seems ridiculously expensive and you are correct when you say about people starving.
Is the hotel trying to rip off it's guests to recover lost profits from the last 3 years?
Ps, Is the Silver Fox so used to paying a fortune for American products?
He might feel well off if he came to Northern England.
Mansfield & High Peak for example.
Another Masterclass by the MacMaster.
Hello, I live a mile from that hotel. That is the worst hotel in Pasadena. They could have spent less at a Motel in a better area. You can actually get shot in that area, even in the day time. There are way nicer hotels than the Westin in Pasadena. But of course allot more expensive. Airbnb would have been a better option for them. PS, America is definitely more expensive compared to other parts of the world.
the food was shocking and the price was insane, not a chance i would eat that for free never mind pay that price
that price was ridiculous...i know it's for the video, but i wouldn't have paid that after seeing it on the menu, i would have gone elsewhere 🙂
Man them sausages looked brutal 😩 They looked like dog treats 😂
They weren't fit for a dog.
Rory they didn't even look fit for a dog! Actually my sisters dog nearly died eating a party sausage it was a close call...I think these nasty looking things would have finished her off.
Lee totally agree with you! Tell the silver fox to put a sock in it 🤣🤣
The other week my wife and I were in Vagas and we both had the same breakfast as you Lee and that came to $70 and I thought that was steep but after seeing your bill I think I got away lightly. We need more of the Silver Fox when you two get together I have tears rolling down my face with laughter.
Ouch. I stayed at Gleneagles once and I distinctly remember it not being as expensive as that.
Had I been forced to eat from that menu I'd have gone for the Huevos Rancheros (and then there'd be two reasons to be reaching for the vaseline 😁)
I'm with you Lee, sorry Silver Fox, full service hotels in America, except for the luxury ones, are mostly rubbish. One's better off by booking limited-service brands which include breakfast in the room rate. I'd rather support local businesses which offer a superior quality experience and which allows for interaction with locals.
112 dollars for that pile of s***! They've got balls, I'll give them that.
Give me a weatherspoons instead of that overpriced yuk 😢
You two can have a ten just for finishing it!🤣
I laughed loud when you said that you were not one for whinging 😂
I have to say that not only did that abomination of a breakfast look dire the price was outrageous. Rarely do I say that, it was dry and to me inedible. Sadly my health is lousy and I rarely manage to get out now, but I drove to a local café Bridgtown Chippy, Cannock, Staffordshire yesterday. I had their large breakfast and mug of coffee for £6.50. This included 2 decent sausages, 3 slices of thick bacon, 2 fried eggs, 1 hash brown, a slice of pigs pudding, loads of baked beans, plum tomatoes, sliced mushrooms and 2 rounds of toast. Whilst the Ritz it is not it was really tasty.
The macmaster has been well and truly vasalined judging by that experience 😂😂
haha, what's with all the separate plates, do they like washing up🤣
You keep it real Lee.. That's what we all love you for mate ❤
You kept your composure! I'd be absolutely fuming with that, basically £100 for that crap! You can go to some of the best restaurants in the World for breakfast & pay no where near that!
As you know Lee, I live here, I have eaten at 5 star restaurants that were not that expensive for breakfast. As I have said over and over, whenever you can, try to stay at a Marriott. They have a rewards program so you can save money and I have never stayed at any Marriott that wasn't top notch. I bet the Courtyard Marriott in Pasadena would have been less expensive and would have been a considerably better hotel. Breakfast starts at $9.95 there and I bet it's much better. You just stayed at a Marriott across from Heathrow. I think you really enjoyed it there.
As far as your snoring, you probably need a CPAP machine. Have you ever had a sleep study done? When you get home, book an appointment with a pulmonologist or an ENT and tell them you want to sleep study. Snoring can cause serious health issues. Martin's such a pain in the ass, you should have just booked your own room so you don't have to hear him bitch and moan.
Look forward to the footage from the concert. I like Squeeze too, it's a good substitute for Adam Ant.
You could tell Martin was low-key pissed off at lees constant criticism
Absolutely shocking food and price
Food costs are ridiculous in Los Angeles, but it's even worse in San Francisco - I remember going to a small diner in San Francisco and ordering breakfast for me and my wife plus two kids, if you ordered it from a Morrisons cafe, it would cost no more than £20, but I ended up paying about £60 there and kids hardly ate anything, it's daylight robbery
Going to the U.K. was very expensive for us 'mericans until fairly recently. The pound just about got up to $2 twice between 1990 and 2008... it averaged about $1.60 between 1991 and 2013. I'd blame Brexit for the current low exchange for £ mostly. My point is there is a pendulum that swings both ways.... and yes, food prices are high here even for those of us who live here, mostly since COVID. San Francisco might have the highest cost of living in the entire U.S.A., perhaps even more than NYC.
@@richardgelber2740 brits don't realize salaries are much higher in the US vs UK and also taxes are lower here
Seattle also has a high cost of living…All I can say is “Welcome to America “ where you pay more and get less!
It’s the same in Canada except they are much more polite❣️ Try to enjoy your stay!
A high possibility, after eating in SF, going back to your car, and the windows could be broken out, with your luggage gone. I would never, ever go to SF again. Last time I visited SF twenty years ago, I walked back to my car, after lunch at Mel’s dinner, and a homeless man was crapping next to my car. I don’t have to tell you, I lost my lunch, and he just smiled at me. I’m so glad you didn’t experience anything like that with your family. 😢
You two make a great double act ! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Great stuff
That's about £74 .... and that's without tip !! Wtf I've never said this word before but I'm utterly Flabbergasted!
thats crazy , theres no way thats even worth it
Congratulations. You just blew a 1 week bangkok budget in one day
2.7 🤣 absolutely atrocious price even for a hotel..
Another great video Mac 👌
Lee, I was thinking about visiting my aunt in the states in August as myself and the wife have time off and the opportunity. However I just can't face it. The sh*t immigration experience, the high prices, and the (at least) 20% tip on top.
Wife enjoyed her visit to Canada just pre covid. Might do that, methinks!
I think he means getting through the airport , it’s a very long process.
Absolute rip off!!! Well said Lee. You 2 work great together,always enjoy your blogs👍👍
Martin, I agree with you! Lee’s whining is getting too much.
Lol. Oy! 😉
Can you pay in instalments?
Totally agree, daylight robbery, it might be understandable if prices were hiked due to the festival nearby, but if that’s everyday pricing it’s a rip off.
We are not long back from the Iberostar Lanzarote and every morning I had eggs and bacon cooked to perfection followed by fresh juice, fruit and amazing coffee all included in the room rate. That was a fraction of what was on offer. I remember the BS in the USA when I used to travel with work. I’m sticking to the lovely Canaries.
Apart from all the thefts, crime there is unreal, place is becoming a Dump.
@@bernese1004 totally agree the US is a frightening place. One wrong turn in your hire car and it could be game over.
@@Burn-Out-Or-Fade-Away yeah stick with Canaries, safe travel
Food looked absolutely rough Lee. How can they charge disgusting. Not surprised you are walking like that. Silver fox is used to having his pants pulled down 😅
Absolutely Scandalous but you gotta love the silverfox reaction. He just don't care what anything costs 🤣 So chilled out!
Everyone misses a uk or Irish breakfast when your away from home noting comes near it
Good point about Bread and preservatives, Bread goes off in days in the UK, here it can last for weeks, and again the price is high, we pay $6 for a loaf and its nothing special, just decent quality.
I prefer Martin's ham. None of its like our own. Scammed at that price 😳. Thought it was around 25 dollars each? 🤔 Breakfast in the Savoy Hotel river restaurant London only £22 and extra sausages £6!
You paid $111.00 for that? Jezz all that fried food. Hope you've got good travel insurance, your gonna need it😂
I love your honest review. And YES that price for a breakfast is outrageous
Fun fact, Westin houses most NFL teams before gameday, so they don't care about how much they charge at those restaurants, they know teams and business travelers will just expense it. Don't eat at them as a regular Joe, LOL. LA has a lot of great diners and restaurants, no need to waste your time there. Try Black Bear Diner, there are three locations in the LA area, I believe.
Love protaras I'm gonna have to visit that place kev ....great vlog...psychology ofah is the best thing ever made on tv...the gravy boat gag is the best one liner ever...not only have u sunk every battle ship or carrier u have ever sailed on now you've knackered a gravy boat hahaha
Just enjoyed 16 course Dim Sum Sea Food Dishes at London and cost was like UK£95 quids
Adam Ant cancelled! Now replaced by Squeeze!! That's another nail in my heart.
Build your Own Omelette $22 - for that price I'd want to meet the chicken and watch HER make it.....I'm not paying $22 to sit on straw for days clucking like I'm demented. 😊
Your perfect co host The Silver Fox ..... Martin
jesus that’s absolutely criminal!!!
HOW MUCH?!!!!! I've been lucky enough to travel all over the world because of my previous job, and there is NO WAY I would expense a breakfast like that, disgusting
Wow!!! for that price I would pretty much expect the room and breakfast for that in the uk.
Imagine preparing that same plate at home at mid range, retail prices from a grocer here in the states. Even if the eggs were $0.60 cents each, (which would be expensive,) and the few pieces of bacon cost $1.00, sausages at let's say $3.00 for a 1/2 dozen, slice of ham at $1.00, home fried potatoes at $0.70, toast and jam at $0.60 and a cup of joe at $0.50, your entire breakfast would run around $8.00 Then consider that a restaurant or other venue such as a hotel which offers dining, purchases their foodstuffs in bulk at wholesale prices, meaning probably 1/2 or more of that $8.00 retail grocer price is eliminated. In short, about $10.00 worth of food between the two plates that you had to pay a $100.00 premium for. Now I fully understand that we pay tax and give added value for the convenience of someone else cooking, while using their utilities, servicing our orders, cleaning up after and the reward we pay for an enjoyable visit, but holy cats, that's beyond exorbitant and a price gouge, regardless where it was. Ugh. I too would avoid.
That’s the whole trouble with the states now ! It used to be cheapish years back ....But not no more!! that was outrageous for a breakfast but as Martini said the price is on the menu and I would have confirmed if the breakfast came with the room price .. there sneaky out there and I myself would have gone to a local diner ... just be aware next time Lee and don’t get caught out again !!!! great blog as usual mate 👍
Wow what?!!!! That was ridiculous, I’d have made sure I took the plate, and cutlery! Jeeze!
And the till/cash register!
Cruel World’ Festival Ends Prematurely At Rose Bowl Because Of Severe Weather Alert, and reschedule for Sunday, that's a good thing
That Breakfast was shocking!😲 Where were the Beans,Tinned Tomatoes and Fried Bread!🥴
Never seen a breakfast so badly in need of baked beans or tomatoes
LEE, dont tip, tell them pathetic and over priced so why should i tip for a dogs dinner !!!
That ridiculous price can’t be justified. I’d rather be hungry, it looked bloody terrible
Nice vid guys 😊😎👍
Even Dick Turpin wore a mask 😲😨😆
I gasped when you showed the bill, and that wasn't including the tip. Everything looked dry, the sausages looked like what i scoop out of my Cats litter tray everyday. 😱
Dreadful. They need to come to the UK and see how to do a proper breakfast.
Bloody hell they taking the biscuit with the price😮
Over priced, overcooked and thank God its over there 😂 I hate tipping too
Poodles willy 😂😂😂😂😂😂 class😅
I was just in los Angeles found it so cheap i never experienced prices luke this but id never go into a hotel there like that 😂😂
That breakfast was minging.Far better value in Tenerife and everywhere else the yanks are shafting you.The Silver Fox has been in the colonies far too long to think that was ok.
You know its going to be great when the breakfast costs more than the room.
Thanks enjoyed Billy while my hubby enjoyed Squeeze. Sorry it got rained out guys.
The rain never came.
Over 100 for a breakfast, that's crazy 😮
Hi Martin, glad to see you again, great banter as usual, but I have to agree with Lee, the prices & quality are outrageous there, I thought American's were quick to complain but not as fast as our MacMaster lol, great vlog 😊
When we are at home in Dubai and staycation or equally in uk with crowne plaza or ihg we try to get a club room. You get early evening snacks and cocktails, afternoon tea and they don’t scrimp, plus breakfast mainly continental but they offer you the works plus any eggs choice like scrambled omelette poached etc. toast machine cheeses, it’s worth the room in extras.
How can a breakfast cost £89. That is daylight robbery👺
Sharks
Love seeing the silver fox again......your right though Lee, for two breakfasts thats unbelievable. Changing the subject a little, as a woman ive been thinking lately about your girlfriend and that she hardly ever sees you as your always jetting off somewhere and that she must be a lovely understanding lady but with the silver fox mentioning your snoring she probably waves you off at the door thinking "finally, a nights sleep" 😂😂.......do love your vlogs Lee ❤ xx
The price of that breakfast was totally unacceptable. I can remember when you could get two gourmet dinners for the same price. That's absolutely absurd. I'm gonna give them 4.6.
You know its going to be great when the breakfast costs more than the room. Maybe Lee thought those amounts on the menu were in pesos or rubles.
20 dollars for poddles bits omg 2.6 for the breakfast
Hold on whilst I pick myself up off the floor! How much!!!! Yikes!
you can get a Michelin star chefs breakfast for less in the uk that breakfast was 5x more expensive than it should have been it looked like army canteen food
The worst fry up I have ever seen
I think you should be using the ponytail to score these events , if it’s down = rubbish , if it’s up but in the middle =ok , if up looking like Ariana Grandes “ it’s a buy !
The phrase to describe the breakfast is.. at least Dick Turpin wore a mask. The breakfast cost is nothing short of robbery.
It looked like the typical hotel breakfast at a Travelodge or something. But with massively inflated prices. I think the moaning is justified, that price would ruin my day unless I was loaded.
Oh Lee you made me laugh with this video 😂😂. I'd be stunned by the price too. It wasn't worth it imo.
Your mate is used to the expensive prices lol.
111 bucks for two breakfasts is pretty ridiculous.
Bloody hell Lee! Have to say my gob hit the floor when I saw the bill! What a bloody disgrace - really puts me off going back to the States.
Price of that breakfast should of been so much better they can’t justify the cost of that with the quantity. Good video which will make people avoid the breakfast there.
That price is absolutely ridiculous i would tip a big fat £0 and a 2 star review
