Yep, it's a great idea. I have no idea what my company was paying for our
rooms but I figure the Residence Inn was making enough to be able to spring
for some cheap meals. They tried to mix it up. As I said, one night it was
a build your own taco bar, the next the grilled hot dogs and burgers. Free
wine and beer started flowing at 5 and went on until about 8.

LOL! Yeah, that's nice. I never actually used the kitchen (except for the
fridge) because I was only there on business for 4 days, but I can see how
someone who is in town for a month or so would definitely find it
beneficial.
