Clear out the mini-bar
Use the mini-bar to store your own purchased food and beverages. When you check into your hotel room, call housekeeping and ask them to remove all the items from the mini-bar. If they say they can’t or won’t, purchase an inexpensive Styrofoam ice chest to use in your room. Whatever you do, avoid breakfast in the lobby restaurant—probably the worst value in the world of travel.
