As for my knowledge, you do not get drinks. Some offer room service. For family suggest Apartment and this also depends on its grade same like good and bad hotels.

Hotel-Apartments are basically suites with no room service (some of them provide that though if you ask). Basically you get a small kitchen with a sink, oven/microwave, & fridge where you can prepare your own meals. They are usually cheaper than hotel rooms and if you don’t require room service, doing your cloths & meals prepared for you , the hotel apartments are the way to go.
The bad thing about hotel-apartment is usually location is not near tourist attractions like hotels are (i.e. beach or malls etc). In other words you need transport.’
