Le petit‑déj est inclus dans le mon séjour ?
The article le is not needed before mon; the correct phrase is ‘dans mon séjour’.
Le petit déjeuner est inclus dans mon séjour ?
When using the full form, the verb should agree: ‘Le petit‑déjeuner est inclus…’ (no change needed) but learners often forget the hyphen or use the wrong gender.
Le petit‑déj est inclus et compris dans mon séjour ?
‘Est compris’ is correct, but mixing the two forms in one sentence (e.g., ‘est inclus et compris’) sounds redundant.

Cultural Tip
In France a typical petit‑déjeuner consists of a coffee or tea, a fresh croissant or baguette with butter and jam, and sometimes fruit juice. When speaking to hotel staff, using the full form petit déjeuner is more polite, especially in formal settings, but the abbreviation is common among younger travelers. Also, note that “inclus” and “compris” are interchangeable, though “compris” is slightly more frequent in hotel brochures.
