Charged for minibar we didn't use

My wife can spot bill-padding at 300 metres on a foggy night.  As someone says, you can have a go at your CC provider but at only £30 it was a fairly cheap lesson learned about doing what posts above say and asking for a closing invoice which draws a line under your stay.

Several years ago as we checked out of a hotel in France I went back to the room to check we hadn't left anything behind and found the door open and visitors from another room were in there taking stuff from the fridge!
It turns out that the cleaners supervisor wedges open the doors of departed guests so the cleaners know they have to change the bedding etc in those rooms.

That's good thinking - may have to start doing this!
