Really, Hyatt Regency?
This seems to be a trend. The more expensive the hotel, the more they screw you. I remember the con hotel in Reno with their ‘tray of death!’ (a tray full of snacks sitting on your dresser, each item carefully placed on a sensor-remove ANYTHING (or jar/nudge something) and YOU ARE AUTOMATICALLY CHARGED FOR THAT ITEM! Same with their fridge (filled with drinks/alcohol)) I mean, what a load of bull shit.
I can stay at a Motel 6 for 1/4 of the cost AND have a fridge AND a microwave.
Come on, people. Seriously?

I can totally see an earthquake causing all the little bits in the mini-bar to shuffle around enough to cause them to charge their guests hundreds of dollars for the shaken booze. Not likely in Chicago, but still a strange thought that popped into my head. Of course, I would imagine that an earthquake would cause other issues for guests that are far more important than worrying about the booze bill.
People had parties in their rooms in Reno, but always cautioned people, “Please steer clear of the dresser!”

I guess they figure they only want people who can afford the extra costs? Pretty stupid, but maybe its a way to discourage the wrong sort of people coming to stay…
That’s me – the undesirable element…

Two words: RV
There is no reason whatsoever to go to a location that doesn’t have RV parking. Might not have hook-ups, that’s okay. Just a flat spot. Got my own fridge, generator, water supply, bathroom–and if the neighbors are jerks, I have a diesel engine that will take care of that, too.
Seriously, what do hotels think they are? Airlines?
And Patrick, I really, really , really HATE CAPCHA. Does Capcha have the same function as a $25 fridge?
The Captcha works to reduce comment spam 🙂 Too many programs out there that troll sites and add spam automatically to posts. The Captcha defeats those by adding a random element requiring a person to actually type something.
