The T&Cs also say that the mini-bar beverages are "for in-room consumption by member only," so:

i. No raiding the mini-bar to take "to go."
ii. No complimentary consumption by guests, either outside guests or traveling companions, other than the member.

Of course, (i) would be poor form anyway, although I have done it from time to time. But (ii) seems bizarre -- if you're traveling with your wife but you are the RA, then your drink is complimentary but hers isn't???

I am not saying that they could or would enforce this, but it seems a bit extreme as written, doesn't it?
