Breaks in training routine for travel, continue to bulk?

I travel pretty regularly for work and do not always have access to a gym during travel (or have access, but to a poorly equipped hotel gym). Should I continue to eat to bulk during those periods or should I switch to maintenance? I can improvise with body weight exercises, but it's not nearly the same level of resistance as with weights, and I wonder if I'll just be gaining fat during those periods.

edit: My travel is usually for a week about once a month.

    Assuming your surplus is small like it should be, it probably won't matter much either way. Personally, I would bring calories down to maintenance for that week to satisfy my OCD tendencies.

    ^^I would probably do the same and bring my calories down a bit, but as Rock says, assuming a small deficit, its not a big deal at the end of the day.
