Fridges in hotels?

[mochuck]

I hope this is not too dumb a question. I was just reading a tripadvisor review of the Crowne Plaza in Seattle where we are staying. One reviewer said that the hotel offered a fridge to rent?? Are fridges not standard in hotel rooms in the US and what about Canada?

it's about 50-50......more hotels are adding them. many do not charge but some do....(at least in the US they are NOT standard but many brands have them)

 

if a person needs one for medical reasons though, the hotel MAY not charge....but you never know.

No, fridges are not standard in rooms in North America. You may find some with small fridges, or with a kitchenette and a full size fridge, but each hotel is different. We`ve taken rooms both with and without fridges, all over North America.

How do you keep your beer and wine cold!!!!!!!!

You put it in an ice bucket; at least every other floor has an ice machine. If that doesn't hold enough ice, use the waste basket:)

Oh, and those that do have a mini-fridge, you may well find fully stocked with goods for sale. There either may be no space, or has fittings shaped a certain way that many things don't fit, or has sensors that charge you if you remove stuff.

 

Basically, don't go expecting cool storage to be available, particularly without extra payment.
