I guess I'm cheap but when I am in a hotel for a few days, the first thing I do is find the nearest grocery store, target, CVS, etc., and make a run to load up on the stuff I'd hate to pay 3-5x for at the hotel. This weekend I avoided the $4.50 Diet Cokes and just went to the Publix across the street where I got a twelve pack for $2.99. Gave the leftovers to the cleaning woman.
