I don't give a toss about the chef vs cook debate.

My suggestion for making breakfast in a hotel room is to go to the best bakery you can the afternoon/evening before (the bonus is that you often get the goods at a reduced price).
Next morning in your room, pop the baked items in a paper bag and blast the contents for at least a minute with a hair dryer. Helps you regain much of their original 'just out of the oven' appeal.
