That's country hotels for you.
Hi,
The whole sentence is [When I arrived late I couldn't get a hot bath or a good meal; still, that's country hotels for you.]
My question is on [for you] and [still].
(my version) That's typical of country hotels and is put to you / is put before you.
So, [for you]stands for [and is put to / before you]
Could any native speaker right me?
Thank you for your assistance.

Yes, the phrase "That's <noun>s for you" simply means "that's typical of <noun>s", and is used in a derogatory way, to reinforce a stereotype. For example, "She ate all my junk food, made a mess, then went out for the night. Well, THAT'S teenage daughters FOR YOU".

Hi KrisBlueNZ,
I want to give thanks to you for your situational teaching and elaborate citing that is enough to let me get into its intrinsic meaning.
Your good teaching should be all that is needed to bring me up to the complete meaning of it.
The connotation of it is : "That has country hotels marked / typified / characterized to / for / with you."
[to /for /

Hi KrisBlueNZ,
"She ate all my junk food, made a mess, then went out for the night. Well, THAT'S teenage daughters FOR YOU".
"Still, that is country hotels for you."
I know those make a comment to things bad in a harmless irony.
Here, [for you] means [in favor of you] / [going with you] / [to attend on you] / [to be with you]
Could you correct me?
