The kids menus at both joints even turn ordering into a game: each has a checklist of kid favorites, such as pizza, cheeseburgers, french fries, chicken fingers, and grilled cheese. Oh, and boring foods that moms will choose: peas, sliced apples, wholewheat pasta, and steamed broccoli. (We think we see some hiding under those yummy chicken fingers.)

All plates are priced at $9.50, which seems a little steep (or are we still on our old allowance-calculator here?), until you remember that this is a hotel, duh. And whatevs. Moms and Pops are paying! Kids should just make sure they're not swindled into an ultra-healthy plate like this one, featuring the grilled fish and a bunch of vegetables. G-r-oss.

The plates include a main entree, two sides, and a choice of beverage. Desserts—a banana split, brownie a la mode, Oreo cookie sundae, or fresh fruit sorbet (the mom pick)—are three bucks extra. Note to kids: memorize your room number, and charge everything back to your room.

Hmm ... We know what we want for lunch.
