Ours was an economy-priced room and the cost of running a refrigerator for people like us who never purchase mini-bar items would've been a waste of money. Also noticed energy-saver bulbs in every lamp and no exhaust fan in the bathroom. All the above are great for saving energy as well as money for the hotel.
