Do any KAA studios have a full fridge?

Moving from a 1BR to a studio in the morning and just realized that unlike KAN, the KAA studios have small fridges. I've almost filled up my large fridge in the 1BR. I don't want to throw food away if possible. Are there any exceptions?

Sorry, I've only stayed in KAN.
Are you sure about KAA? I would confirm with the front desk at KAA.

Here are some old comparisons. They don't mention a smaller fridge (see below).

KAA only has a small fridge. It does have a freezer portion (bottom shelf) that actually works.

Perhaps they could store your food in the coolers at the bell desk. Not convenient but better than losing the food.
 
You know what's weird about this, I haven't stayed in a studio for awhile, but I'm sure that originally they had full-size refrigerators. Did they take them out?

hmm...maybe it is unit dependent. I just stayed in one, and it had a small. But I seem to recall larger ones as well.

The setup of the kitchen for our recent stay was different than your picture, Denise.
 
The stufio part of my 2 bedroom last year has a small refrigerator under the counter
 
I have photos from 2006 of the WKORV OF Dlx studio - only under-counter refrigerator. I would assume same for Prem studios as well.
 
At the original. WKORV, certain buildings have the small fridges (counter height) in the studios and others have the larger ones. I thought Bldg 2 had the larger fridges, and building 3 had the small ones, but can't remeber exactly. I could have them backwards. I don't know what building 4 has.

What Buidling is that picture from, Denise?

Either building 2 or 3 - I don't remember.
 
We were in building 4 with a small fridge. In the past, we had a 2 bedroom in building 3, and I vaguely remember a full fridge on the studio side, but that is a very vague memory
 
I was just browsing some for sale ads for the Marriotts, which only have small fridges, and one ad said you can request an extra fridge be brought to your room. I wonder if that is a possibility at the Westin for those studio units with the smaller fridge.

I highly doubt this - it is not listed as option, and where would it go? They would not allow of exiting the villa be blocked in case of emergency.
 
Building 3 had full fridge as of a year or two ago.

If you really have too many groceries, try using an inexpensive ice chest for things like cold drinks.

You may also have things in the fridge that aren't really perishable.
 
In the past year, we had a large frig in the studio sides of villas 2530 and 2630. We don't normally use the studio side but had guests for these trips. Would be nice to know which studios have a large frig.
 
Thanks everyone. I did request a unit with a larger fridge and got one. Its 2316 and the fridge is white and just like the photo Denise posted. I definitely saw that the units on the ground floor of building 3 (where we were last week) had the half height under counter fridges with black appliances so there are definitely two distinct styles in KAA.
 
This is good to know....

I thought all of the studios and deluxe one bedrooms at the Starwood-built resorts had the same standard setup washer, dryer and a kitchenette with two burners cooktop, microwave oven, full-size refrigerator, and dishwasher

Here are the room descriptions on the SVO site. I guess I need to pay more attention to the room descriptions ;)

Is KAA the exception? Or are there other Starwood-built resorts with a small fridge?
I've only been to KAN and HRA where we had full size refrigerators.

Thanks
