it's just a game
Well then you did a good job as 20% food discount and a cheaper room rate will save money in the long run. The free breakfast was not worth a higher room rate.My understanding is there are fridges in all the rooms. If you go to the hotel web site under rooms it says "mini-fridge" right there: http://www.fourpointsclevelandairport.com/en/rooms/traditional-queen
The hotel is all non-smoking so there is no burning wreck room and as the "hospitality suite" was not really used for anything beyond smoking in recent years and that was outlawed in the hotel, we traded the "suite" for other concessions so there is no suite. Actually the hotel has no suites on the 5th floor anymore, but was turning 2 guest rooms into the "suite" last year.
Understand about losing the breakfast - unfortunately the choice was either pay more for the room to get 1 "free" breakfast per room or have us pay for breakfast on our own. I chose to negotiate for the lower room rate and the discount on food at the hotel restaurant as that resulted in a lower overall cost and gave everyone the option of eating where they chose. The alternative was a "free" breakfast that actually cost more due to a higher room rate...
Peace
