How many people would be OK if the hotel said "Yes, the room HAS air conditioning- but there is a fee of $50 to actually USE it"

IMO if a hotel lists a fridge as a feature there cannot be an additional fee to use it. (Note listing a 'mini bar- fee applies' is a different story.)

Finally, I have stayed at a few hotels that will bring a second fridge to the room, no charge- if you need it. If you want, tell them you have medications that require refrigeration....iver never had to.
Actually in many parts of Asia hotels (normally budget/low end) do charge to run the AC. You get a card and top off as needed. AC is still listed as an amenity. Unless its listed as no fee/free they can charge for it.
