I am at an Embassy Suites outside Washington, DC. I was last at this hotel two years ago, so it was my surprise to see purchase items on the wet bar. There is a large bottle of Voss water for $5. What shocks me, however, is a $2 charge to use one of the coffee packets for the in-room machine. I don't think I have come across any Hilton family hotels yet who have charged for in-room coffee, let alone a major brand (even a Fairmont I stayed at had free K-cups for the in-room machine). This is also in a suburban area, not a major city. Of course, you can go get free coffee during breakfast in the lobby, but that makes this even more strange.

Has anyone else seen this in their travels to Hilton brands?
