Unexpected Travel Freebies

left

If you think tiny bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and lotion are the best you can score for free at a hotel, then you aren’t staying at the right property. Those mini amenities are nothing compared to the major freebies you can enjoy at some of the country’s top resorts, such as:

Fish: The Hotel Triton in San Francisco is known for its iconic under-the-sea-themed lobby, but now you can experience that same tranquility from the comfort of your own room. The hotel is providing guests with a swimtastic roommate for free–a real goldfish. Your aquatic companion can stay in your room for the night and you don’t have to worry about keeping it alive. Staff is on hand for daily feedings and care. All you have to do is watch your little buddy swim to his heart’s content. Meanwhile, you can enjoy the medical benefits that come with watching your finned friend; research has shown that watching colorful fish can calm nerves, reduce anxiety, and lower blood pressure. If you prefer watching fish on a larger scale, head to Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas. That’s where you can visit a 50,000-gallon saltwater aquarium that houses more than 100 species of ocean life aquarium. Admission to the scenic underwater oasis is free, as are the daily shows which feature divers feeding thousands of tropical fish, sharks and the rest of the aquarium’s residents.

Rolls-Royce Phantom: It’s nothing but the best for guests staying at the Beverly Wilshire in Beverly Hills, California. Forget about hailing a cab to travel around town. The hotel offers complimentary use of its luxury house car, a Rolls-Royce Phantom, on a first-come, first-serve basis. The car comes with chauffeur service and allows you to speed off to the destination of your choice, from upscale shops along Rodeo Drive to star studded eateries in downtown Los Angeles.
