I'm stuck in a hotel for 14 days in Sydney during the covid' fiasco and currently in mandatory isolation after returning to the country from overseas. I go pro at everything. Try and keep up.
Exercise:
Weighted lifting:
For drink, every meal includes a 350ml bottle of water. I personally use the drinking glasses in the room and the faucet and have no need to open these bottles. It's just a 350 gram weight to me. Collect enough, and you've got yourself some exercise weights. Place them in your backpack, and start lifting bro. I have twelve so far. With a few pepsi cans, I have a solid 5kg weight to start doing beginners weight bicep curls on each arm. The pack can be used for anything you can do with a kettle bell. Go find some exercises online for each muscle group and get going.
Don't forget forearm curls and raises. Put a folded towel on the edge of a surface, and start curling that pack of water.
The weight is probably too low for advanced users, but try overhead flys laying over the edge of the bed for lat-pulldown equivalency. I mixed this with pushups to get some activation. Forced-flexing during the light-weight movement helps too. Unfortunately this room simply does not have a means of doing pullups or chinups. The bathroom doorway is full height to the roof with no rim with which to get your bouldering-grip onto. Your luck may vary.
Bodyweight:
Situps, pushups, lunges, squats, planks etc etc... Add water-weight-pack where applicable.
Cardio:
Create a step with the bed base or chair. Start your timer on your phone. Start stepping for 15mins solid. This will get an advanced user from the car-park to the top of the 1k steps in Ferntree Gully, Vic, Aus. When you get to the top, start pacing in the room for a 5min cool down.
Don't forget skipping rope jumping: just pretend the rope is there. I do 5x100 jump sets. These are skipping rope toe-height-jumps, NOT high jumps or other explosive exercises. Switch to explosive plyometric exercises as desired.
Entertainment:
I had my PC shipped from Vic to NSW overnight. The TV in the room is only broadcast TV, and doesn't have any cable channels or online services like netflix etc. Want to read something on your phone?? No I don't either...Get me a big screen and a keyboard!
I've taped two paper bags underneath the TV to deflect the speaker audio forward. I had them on hand...the audio design was garbage. I've improved it considerably.
Laundry day:
Epic sink hand washing. You've learned to wash your hands during covid 2020. Now learn to wash your socks and jocks.
Advanced leftovers reheating techniques:
Be sure to order garlic bread with your 1st order of pizza, this will yield the required foil. Temperatures will never get hot enough to ignite anything, so you could use paper as a medium to keep the iron clean also. Pro Tip: Thin n Crispy pizza reheats better than Deep Pan in this application. The insulation factor of a deep pan base is quite high...avoid.
