But I haven’t seen any mentions of it in reviews so don’t know if that description might just mean, like, “we put a minibar in the room and will be happy to charge you for its convenience”?
Well, I can update to say that there is indeed a card in the room inviting you to use the complimentary minibar.
I arranged a 1-night FHR stay for my parents here as part of a trip for a major wedding anniversary for them (as a positioning for a flight home), and the hotel really went above and beyond -- provided a beautiful fruit basket and tray of macarons and candies, and upgraded them from a classic room all the way to a Prestige Suite. I certainly wouldn't expect that for any other stay here -- I imagine it was a combination of the noted anniversary, FHR, it only being a 1-night stay, and perhaps a bit of an operational upgrade as the hotel appears to be full. But still, much appreciation from me for taking such good care of them.
