Rip off Britain - London Heathrow Marriott May 12, 2006

Hotels are expensive; hotel room minibars are the worst of the lot.

However charging UKP2.50 for a standard can of Pepsi does seem excessive. Way over 400% markup. For US readers that’s a $5 can of Pepsi.

Most US Marriott hotels have 24 hour vending; I can go get a can of Pepsi for maybe $0.75.

The London Heathrow Marriott gets this trips award for the biggest ripoff.
