Apparently not! I suspect that on Saturday they have hotel staff pouring the alcoholic drinks for guests, while they are free to grab the soft drinks from the fridge themselves. That way they prevent many different people from touching the same bottles over and over again. Not sure why they can't to do that every night though, unless occupancy is so low on the other nights that it's not worth their time. On a side note, I read some guest reviews that claim the beer (Heartland Beer) in the in-room refrigerator is free. I'm not sure if that's their normal policy or perhaps that's to make up for the unavailability of alcohol in the club lounge on days other than Saturday.
