The best hotel-room convenience-store breakfast depends on equipment, not internet fame. Use a cold eggs-yogurt-fruit combination when you have no appliances, heat only labeled food in a store or approved microwave, rely on a room refrigerator only when it is genuinely suitable, and keep the kettle for water.
