13. Mini Bars
Here’s an area you need to check thoroughly before using. How dirty can a hotel mini-bar be? It’s not the bar itself, but the drinks inside you need to worry about. Many hotels provide a mini bar in the rooms stocked with beer, water and even hard liquor. Most resorts don’t charge for the service and restock the items you’ve consumed each day. Yet there are some that do charge for items taken out and they keep a running tab for you and you pay a fee when you check out.
You might want to check the seals on those drinks in the mini-bar. We heard of one hotel in Las Vegas where the previous guests got liquored up after a night of gambling and filled the liquor bottles with water or worse yet, urine to avoid paying for them. It sounds crazy, but it could happen to you. It’s easy for your housekeeper to miss this, so check the seals before drinking.
