    The first thing I do when I get to my hotel room is fill up the ice bucket. Who likes warm drinks?

        Fridge takes hours to cool a drink, but put it in an ice bucket and it’ll be cold after you’re done pooping.

        I don’t think I’ve ever been to a hotel that didn’t have an ice dispenser/bucket, but have been to plenty that don’t have a fridge. Heck, Motel 6 has ice machines and a stupid plastic bucket.

            Very likely… A lot of road trip travel by car, sometimes toting coolers. And Americans like their beverages cold.

              Yup. I was super surprised when I heard that in Europe, they don’t give you ice by default, and they give you seltzer unless you ask specifically for something else.

      I feel like I’m the only person who goes to a hotel to sleep, not chill a 24 pack of diet Coke and a bottle of champagne to drink (without this hotel ice) after eating a ham sandwich out of my rolling cooler which needs a top off.

      Where are you all traveling with your champagne and ham sandwiches?!
