Numerous hotels offer breakfast as part of the room rate, but some might charge extra for it. The cost and quality can differ from one hotel to another. Being aware of this beforehand can help you determine if you need to allocate additional funds.

Opt for a water bottle rather than spending on drinks all the time. It's also a more sustainable choice.
