$50 just to store your OWN items in minibar is a restocking fee??
Submitted by Wanderlust Andi
When my family stays in a hotel, we regularly bring our own food and drinks to help keep our traveling expenses down. I have always naturally assumed that if a hotel room has a minibar in it, it is available to the guest who rented the room as part of the room price. Evidently, this is not always the case. In the future, I plan on reading everything before placing my items in a hotel minibar. I will not be very happy if I get stuck with a $50 fee and I can guarantee that if I do, I will not be revisiting that hotel chain ever again.
This minibar fee is posted at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. I also saw a similar minibar fee at The Aria hotel in Las Vegas, a 4 star hotel. It is frustrating - all you want is to store, for example, your cream for your coffee. Why is it that when hotels have higher stars, they also have more higher hidden costs - and less amenities?

Submitted by Wanderlust AndiThe Grove Park Inn, located in Asheville, North Carolina, has an infamous inhabitant, the Pink Lady. The Pink Lady is said to be the essence of travel. However, she is not a normal traveler. In fact, she doesn't travel at all, for she's a ghost. Popular and historic hotels tend to live up to the idea of a ghostly inhabitant for the sake of authenticity. This method seems to be effective, for guests will even request to stay in such haunted hotels.
