I'm with you Negriljail,

My room does not have a fridge, unless i request one, but I never request one.

I can stay away or not HAVE to rely on the bars with my ice and cooler.

If you venture out like I do, there may not be ice cold beers where you stop.

Even when sitting on the veranda, cooler right there.

I hop in a route mobile with my cooler all the time.

So, it's just a personal thing, to each his own.

My hotel had an ice machine for years, so I got use to filling it up all the time for free.

Buying ice may be the hard part.
