If you buy a thermo-electric (Peltier type) mini fridge, be aware of

Our little mini will freeze stuff solid if you turn it down too far.
It may not be the type you refer to however.

I recently borrowed my son's roomate's mini-mini dorm sized fridge for
use in a hotel room for a week. Compressor style. It froze a bottle of
water (in the freezer section) overnight.

The hotel wanted $10/day plus standard "hotel" taxes to rent one from
them. The same goes for a microwave. I bought a MW from a college
student for $10 off Craig's list.

tell the hotel you have celiac disease. there's a federal law that states
they have to provide you with a fridge for free if one is available in any
room, or move you to a room that has one even if it's an upgrade.

a.h.r. relate:

When he got the fridge back the freezer compartment was attached to
the roof of the fridge with 4 screws, not 1, there was a shelf
separating the top section from the bottom section, and the rod that
holds things on the door shelf was replaced. I didn't spend a dime,
everything I needed was lying around the house.

Kids these days...don't they know how to fix *anything*?

reply:

No.

Hmmm...lying to get a fridge for free. Isn't that kind of like
stealing?

I wonder if there are any federal laws about lying to obtain the
benefits of a federal law.
