How to Turn Any Hotel Stay Into a Relaxation Retreat

No Minibar in the Room? Do This to Chill Your Drinks

Okay, the mini-fridge is extremely little. Sometimes it's full of expensive things you don't want to spend your hard-earned money on. You could not even have a fridge, though. If you've brought your favorite drinks or wine and don't have a way to keep them cool, this isn't great. A bag of ice is the first step toward a straightforward solution to this problem. A few hotels give you complimentary ice. If not, just go to the grocery store and get a bag.

Now, go to the sink in the bathroom and plug it in. Put a little cold water in the basin, then fill it with ice. Put your bottled drinks in, and you have a small cooler for the night.
