northeast USA reporting in - scones have gotten more common in this area over the last 5 years or so and while I'm not sure you'd find them at a 3 star hotel, you'd definitely find them at a moderate level restaurant that served breakfast/other pastries - ours look like this https://goo.gl/images/ucZzfm
ah okay gotcha. I looked at the pic and lmao those are not the scones I had in mind (at least in terms of shape) but thanks for telling me it’s mostly uncommon. I think I’ll go with something else haha.

The closest thing to what you call a "scone" from what I understand is what we call "biscuits" and they're far more common in the American South. It's often served with gravy or something savory, too.
O.o yeah I vaguely remember “biscuits” with gravy from when I read gone with the wind, lololol. personally I think such a thing is culinary blasphemy but hey I mean enjoy if you like :P

So tea isn't as common in the USA (I'm guessing you know that???) but it's not rare. I've eaten a scone maybe once in my life. So, at least where I'm from (Midwest), they're uncommon enough I had to look up a picture. A 3 star hotel would more likely serve bagels/pancakes/waffles/muffins I think. Also, with coffee/milk/orange juice/water. There might be tea, but it might be iced tea if they have one of those little cafe type buffets.
yeah I know tea is uncommon, and tht scones are too. I may go for doughnuts (that they picked up a service station along the way?) but thanks for the suggestions :)
