These things are absolutely not a replacement for waffle machines. They barely cook the pancake all the way and the batter often has a rubbery texture worse than any store-bought mix. Also you can easily make better pancakes at home.
Meanwhile, hotel waffles are crunchy on the outside with a soft interior and malty flavor thanks to the big heavy specialized waffle makers. They taste much more fresh, and most importantly you can’t make them at home without the expensive specialized equipment. Home waffle makers just don’t have the same mass of heated metal to get the same results.
I actively avoid Holiday Inn Express for business travel because of these things. I prefer the breakfast at many Quality Inns which are often 1/3 the price. Hampton Inn does it right with waffles and two flavors of batter nationwide.
It’s $150, which is not cheap. It’s huge, it’s heavy, and good luck on finding a place to store it but you can get really close to the better hotel gear with it
They had an armed hostage situation at the Orange County Marriott the last time I was there. I was like “is it safe to go up to my room?” And the cops were like “yeah the dude’s a pussy he’s not going to do shit.”
You know those old crummy motels out in the desert where the population is like 30% prostitutes and only like 10% of the clientele aren’t there for the prostitutes. Yeah those are the ones with the 3d printed guns.
All Holiday Inn Express locations have these now. They do not make acceptable quality pancakes imo since the batter must be squeezed from above to get the top cooked. It’s a fun concept but I suspect many business travelers preferred the waffles.
What’s not to love about print-on-demand pancakes?

There is a prosumer model waffle maker that’s not bad.
