    fairly reasonable at $10 a night

    Ouch. Why not free? Is it really that expensive to implement? Oh wait, it's the standard answer:

    because they can.

    Long live capitalism.

    They also leave a nice looking, refreshing bottle of Evian spring water in your room, with a little tag on it saying "drink me and pay $4.50" .. fortunately the tap water was drinkable. I did not appreciate being teased. Also, although they gave me tasty little chocolates in the first room, I did not get another two tasty little chocolates when they moved me to the second room.
    Oh the agony! No tasty chocolates in the second room!

    Seriously though, complaining about the bottled water is like complaining about the prices in the mini-bar. Hotels are like that.
