And don't damage it, the hotel probably don't own the keg.

it is pressurised but iirc with out constant feed of gas you lose pressure try it...
the keg where you connect the tap has what is called s spear going down the barrel, dont drill the barrel cause if it is pressurised.... it may hurt

A group of mates found one once and used a screwdriver to push the top in - it came out, but only a pitiful little dribble. Tap's the only option I think.

borrow a spare from your local pub, will be hard though, as you normally use a pump... i have many spares...

You need the gas and a chiller, pretty useless without them even if it is free.

Yep...you need gas to make it fizzy and a chiller to make it cold as previously said.
You'll only getabout £20 for half a keg at best. They only cost about £40 cost when full.
You get 80 pints from a 10 gallon keg.

£40 for a 22 gallon (176 pints)? Which is what it probably is. Your dreaming Even if its an 11 gallon it will be more than £40

It won't be a 22gallon???? No-one buys in 22's these days...not in England anyway.
11 gallon keg of carlsberg costs us £76.85. i've just checked. My £40 was a bit old!!!

I work for Marriott, no Marriott hotel in Europe buys in 22's. Neither do Hilton for that matter. But thats just hotels, maybe bars & pubs still do.

a 9 gallon of bitter can cost upto 60quid maybe more depending what it is
an 11 of strongbow can be anything in the region of about 80-90quid
