I have stayed at Hyatts over the past year, they still offer breakfast, but on multi day stays they have cut the house keeping to upon request only.

Not really - if they offer breakfast, I may grab something; if not, I don't go out to eat for breakfast. Coffee is typically my breakfast when I'm traveling!

Having to travel for busieness is a thing of the past. Location and cost trump the free breakfast concept in my travels.

Yes, that actually would impact where I choose to stay. Not always, but we chose a place in Ottawa because of many factors, one of which was the exquisite bread basket they delivered free if you booked direct ($15-$20 value per day... and VERY WELL worth it!).
I've chosen hotels with breakfast on many occassions when traveling for business... that was usually a key factor for me. Hyatts were a mainstay of my Riverside business travel because of that. It let my per-diem the company was providing go further.

I have never made a decision about where to stay based on a free meal. Yes, it's nice to have but other issues (reputation, location and convenience, cost) tend to be more important. Not too much traveling these days.

All of the Holiday Inn Expresses I stayed in during my recent road trip offered a decent hot breakfast. The Marriotts were just some danish and fruit. I don't choose them JUST for the breakfast but that is one reason I choose them over some of the other comparable choices.
The cost of hotels has gone up significantly and I think they are using COVID as an excuse to cut back on services.

Due to covid no 'open' food is allowed. I usually take a pass on the bar breakfast. They don't even have fruit anymore.

Free breakfast was never "free". It was included in the cost to the room...same as clean towels. It is a convenient amenity. However, I don't plan my travel based on whether I have breakfast included or not.

If I had a choice of two hotels, everything was the same except one included free breakfast and one didn't, I'd choose the one with breakfast. Even if I just grab a banana on the way to go, it's helpful to not have to go find a diner.

Not at all. Being convenient to good coffee will. I primarily travel for business and I always check to make sure my room isn't near the noisy side of town and that there is good coffee nearby. If I'm visiting my kids I stay with them. One of these days my husband & I will stop working so much and perhaps take a vacation. When that happens, I will make sure we have access to decent food as he gets hangry if he doesn't eat. lol!
Edited to add that I do like it when they give me free water bottles.

A free breakfast to go is a huge time saver.

Free is not ususally quality but as you say convenient. Why not carry a trail mix or a banana to hold you over until either a quality or a brunch appears?

On my recent vacation I had breakfast included with both the Marriott and Best Western. But housekeeping was by request only. I am okay with making my own bed and hanging up my towels as long as I have something to eat each day.

Won't bother me a bit. I generally want breakfast on the road if I'm traveling or out if I'm staying somewhere. Was never impressed with the "free" breakfast.
I generally travel with my own coffee pot too

No, I never picked a hotel for the hotel free food. I prefer better quality food. I have no business travel that involves hotels, so my hotel required travel is for fun these days. And, we won't travel afar until masks are not required on airlines, I haven't flown since Feb 2020.
By the way Marriott did offer a free brecky that was actually one of the only paletable ones offered in chains.

The small inns still serve informal breakfast here in Carmel-by-the-Sea. And that usually includes fruit & juices and possibly something warm plus bakery items. But when I stay at a hotel, I just need coffee available somewhere, whether I have to pay for it or not. Like a great Latte. I certainly would not choose my hotel based on breakfast.

1. Grand Slam at Dennys
2. Egg McMuffin with bacon at McDonalds
Both have free WiFi for planning my day.

No, that is not a deciding factor for me Fred. More important is the cleanliness of the rooms, overall spaces within the hotel and exceptional customer service.
