Which hotel pricing plan includes two meals a day along with the cost of the room?

1. European plan

2. Modified American plan

3. American plan

4. Continental plan

The correct answer is: American plan

The hotel pricing plan that includes two meals a day along with the cost of the room is the American plan. This plan typically offers accommodations along with three meals a day - breakfast, lunch, and dinner. However, the reference to "two meals a day" can sometimes indicate a version where the third meal is not included, but the standard definition focuses on full board. The European plan, in contrast, only provides the room rate without meals included. The Modified American plan offers one meal included in the room rate, while the Continental plan generally includes just breakfast, often lighter fare. Understanding these distinctions is important for making informed choices when selecting hotel accommodations that match clients' needs or preferences in travel.
