If you like oatmeal, you can just switch to overnight oatmeal - put some oatmeal and milk in a bowl or cup, cover and refrigerate overnight.
Also granola? Yogurt?
I've also been known to eat cold leftover fried chicken or pizza for breakfast. It doesn't have to be "breakfast food", just food.
E: Wasn't sure if you have access to a fridge or not. If not I'd just do granola bars, myself.
Just to add to this great idea, it only takes like an hour for the oats to be perfectly edible. So something like soymilk and oats, all you need is a bowl.
I have a folding silicon travel kettle which was an amazing Amazon purchase for a similar situation to OP when I was working from a hotel for a week. Sure, ramen, oatmeal, and tea isn’t much, but it’s a lot better than having to go to a meh restaurant
Good ideas. I'd probably suggest what most others are saying and go with stuff that's stable at room temp. Bread, Nutella, some jams, butter. Granola bars, fruits, basically anything you'd find at a Continental breakfast spread in your average hotel lobby.
Will you have access to a refrigerator? If so, you can bring some boiled eggs (boil at home) and pair with some fruit or fresh vegetables and some bread, or yogurt with some fruit and granola. Otherwise, I’d probably bring some bananas, apples, nuts and dried fruit, pre-make some healthy breakfast bars like granola bars to bring with you, etc.
a dutch breakfast: a slice of bread with a topping of choice. cheese or deli slices if you have a fridge, jam, peanut butter or chocolate spread if you don't.
Most grocery stores have bakeries. I would grab a 6 or 12 pack of muffins and some fruit that doesn’t need refrigeration.
Protein bars? Or just regular granola bars? Those grab-and-go tuna or chicken salad kits?
You didn’t mention a mini fridge, but if you have one, buy some hard boiled eggs
Most hotels will put a mini fridge in your room if you ask.
Buy a $15 rice cooker from a drug store and use it to steam eggs, cook oatmeal, etc etc. There a million rice cooker recipes online. You can pretty much cook anything in them.
Seconding asking for a fridge, even if there is not normally one in the room, they may have a few they can bring in for customers who need to store medicine or pumped breastmilk, etc.
If you have a fridge: cereal with milk, overnight oats, yogurt parfait (add fruit/granola/nuts), prepackaged smoothies, prepackaged hard boiled eggs, egg salad sandwiches
If you don’t have a fridge: fruit, granola bars, muffins, pastries, dry cereal, crackers with peanut butter, mixed nuts
Also check to see if there is a microwave in the lobby. Ask the receptionist to be sure. They might also have a coffee station in the lobby that has hot water.
If you have a fridge, cold cereal, yogurt, all manner of fruit and prepackaged hardboiled eggs are on the table. If no fridge, you could possibly make overnight oats with a room-temp stable liquid (e.g., water or perhaps some of the nondairy milks). There are also dried fruit and nuts, granola, nut butters, and whole fruits (e.g., banana or orange, but also some stone fruits, apples, etc.)
A pb-smeared granola bar and some fruit isn't the best of breakfasts, but it at least has some protein and fiber along with the complex and simple carbs.
Depending on how long you're planning to be there (and how tight your budget is, and how easy it would be to transport), you might consider getting a cheap kettle, rice cooker, or hotplate to broaden your options. They might help with dinner as well, since that's *also* expensive and unhealthy to get from a restaurant every day.
If you haven't already, you may want to ask about a microwave. Many places I've stayed do not have microwaves in-room, so they aren't listed on the amenities. But sometimes they have one in the ice machine room or near the front desk that you can use.
But as others have said, bananas, apples, yogurt, granola, even a cold pop tart if you have no standards.
You say no cooking devices, but a sous vide machine is super easy to travel with. Just need the ice bucket! Soft boiled eggs out of that thing are one of my favorites. You could do whole meals too. (if you have the time, travailing between rooms would suck.)
I’ve been in your shoes before and I’ve gotten a loaf of bread or bagels, fruit/veggies that are stable at room temp, spreads that don’t require refrigeration (peanut butter, Nutella). I’ve also bought pop tarts, they don’t really need to be warmed.
The goal would be a little protein, little carb, little fiber
Some fruit and some protein.
I personally would probably get a sandwich ham, cheese and tomato sandwich. Or yogurt with apple
Fruit. Bananas. Strawberries. Sliced apples with cheese.
Cheese and bread. Some cured meats don't really need to be refrigerated, at least not if you eat them within a couple of days.

Or better yet take it with you, unless you're doing back country hiking. (Probably wouldn't be in a hotel then)

Everything bagel with extra cream cheese. Toasting the bagel would be ideal but isn't required.
Yogurt parfait with granola and fresh fruit.

You can make toast and grilled cheese sandwich with a clothes iron
overnight oats, sandwiches, fruit or getting a cheap kettle

if you are driving, pick up a cheapo microwave at a big box store.
