However, you will find that there are many people who report that if you stop at a little grocery store at the beginning of your trip - you can stock up on things like snacks, water, liquor, wine, champage, and beer - and I bet you could get some sort of breakfast items as well. It will save you a ton of $$.
Many breakfast items require refrigeration (and some reheating). But do the non-Hilton points properties (such as the ICs) have fridges (or minibar fridges
with enough space for storage of breakfast groceries)? In the US, for example, it's only midscale and lower hotels (not full service) that tend to have fridges in rooms. In other parts of the world, I often find minibars which are packed to the hilt, at hotels which freak out if you unload them, and not enough room to store breakfast groceries.
