Should I have know to turn the fridge on?

Hello, thanks for all y’all do! I’m at a hotel in Fl. The room is nice with a small kitchen, full size fridge and freezer, dish washer, etc. I arrived yesterday went grocery shopping, put the groceries away and went to bed. Today I realized the fridge/freezer isn’t cold it’s just slightly cool. Upon further inspection I realized that the power is turned off on the fridge. My question is… was I meant to know to turn the unit on when I arrived? No one from the hotel told me to do so, at the same time I ASSUMED it would be powered on and I guess that’s on me for assuming lol

Would it be appropriate to ask for grocery $ reimbursement for the spoiled food? I think it was around $35.
