The minibar is the minibar. Unless you're at a place that includes it, or are an RA at and IC, I expect to be charged. I have been charged a late breakfast charge at a Hilton before on a free breakfast, so I understand the problem, certainly. They even tried to say it was "taxes" on an award. Only because I was able to read info on FT did I find that they were yanking my chain.
I agree on the toothbrush, but it was given to me in the bathroom by my not so well-travelled GF.... She (or I) had never seen payable toothbrushes in a hotel.
