<p>I agree with eating breakfast in the room. Besides the $ savings, it makes the mornings (which can feel stressful as the kids warm up and get ready for their day) easier. We brought instant oatmeal (and plastic bowls and spoons) with us, and ran water through the coffee maker to heat it. There is a CVS just around the corner, so we bought OJ (which we kept cold in the room) and bananas to have for breakfast as well.</p>
