What nonsense is this offer???


 Agoda. Platinum VIP user. Benefits. Great.

Latest offer says "Free Mini Bar". Of course, growing up in the 80s and 90s, this meant minis and beers. I have since gotten to grips that there is no more free alcohol in the minibar in hotels. Fine. 

Now, excited about the "FREE MINI BAR", I booked 2 nights in 2 hotels, both having the same offer. THIS is what I found. Sugary drinks, worth like 1 EURO. Nothing healthy, nothing alcoholic. Just an embarrassment. 

I would rather they charge me 4 times what I pay in the supermarket for the convenience of having a cold drink right there when I check in than this abomination of an "offer". I am happy to spend on the hotel experience, often opting for bigger rooms, club floor etc. Just lump in another 10 EURO and give me 6 - 8 free drinks. Of which ONE could be a beer.
