A few months ago we booked a few nights in a travel lodge type hotel, close to an attraction. Basic, with just tea and coffee facilities.
I don't want to waste money on expensive "you're a captive customer so we will rip you off" type food.
Issues:
•hotel is budget so the breakfast is a rip off.
• it's on the motorway so unlikely to be near much.
•obviously no fridge
I want to take as much supermarket food as I can but I am struggling with what to take that isn't complete crap.
There will be no fridge - solutions for storing milk etc? Run a bath of cold water? Would long life milk be ok?
No toaster- breakfast ideas? I could do pre wrapped croissants or bagels but would rather not...they don't fill me up for long enough and, quite frankly, bung me up.
Lunches- I will buy all the fruit and snack options but nowhere to store margarine...it would be ok in cold bath water wouldn't it?! I could make basic sandwiches? But, again, nowwhere to keep anything cool. Don't fancy warm, salad sandwiches.
Evening meal I accept will need to be eaten out.
Have you got any clever suggestions for food when you have limited options? And how to survive sharing a room with a 3 year old
