I know, hotels these days are typically offering better and better televisions. Most of your large chains are going to have a Smart TV in the room, but that might not always be the case.

I personally have stayed at a couple of countryside BnBs and some hotels in smaller towns that still only offered local cable. Having my fire stick with me allowed me to access Netflix, Prime, etc. so I was able to keep the family entertained. These go on sale so often you can easily fond one on Amazon for around $19.99. There is the Fire Stick Lite which may run a few dollars cheaper ($1799 on sale right now) but for the miniscule difference in pricing I'd just go with the regular option. The only notable difference between the two is the remote. The Lite lacks TV controls, like power and volume buttons.

Many may not realize it but you can use an Amazon Fire TV device in Europe (and other locations) if it's HDMI compatible and you change your Amazon account's country settings. However, content availability varies by country, and some apps and games may not work in your new country.
