Empty Fridges are What Every Hotel Needs

Empty fridges are the new mini-bar. Hotels are FINALLY catching on to guests disdain for $5 Diet Cokes, especially when the bodega on the corner sells them for $1. Sure mini-bars are convenient; and if you're lazy and have a large wallet, you may not care what they charge you.

For the rest of us, mini-bars serve as a cold place to store food. And hotels like the Hilton McLean in suburban Washington, D.C., is one hotel giving us what we want: empty fridges. Marriott is also catching on. But Omni Hotels one-ups them with their test drive of mini-bars with space for your own food.
