Recently I have been spending a fair share of nights in hotels. People ask me all the time, "Do you have a favorite brand?" Yes, I do...my house. But when that can't happen, I look for all the comforts of home. Here are things I love to have when I check into a hotel for a night or maybe longer.
My TV, my way. I want to be able to stream from my device to the TV in my room and I want to know that the sleep timer works! I am like many, I never WATCH TV, I have it on for noise. I fall asleep to noise so I don't have to hear hallways noise, etc. Plus, being able to stream Grace & Frankie or my DirecTV DVR is a nice feature. Not having this will make me rethink coming back to the hotel in the future.
Reliable Wi-Fi that I don't need a degree to figure out. I want to be able to easily connect and move on with my work. This one is game changer too. If reliability is an issue, I take my business elsewhere because I need to be connected when I travel for work.
Ice. I drink iced beverages all day. I love to have an ice machine close that I can go to as needed or a service that will bring it to me when I want.
Plug-ins a plenty. I am sitting in a hotel room now and I have a phone, an iPad, a laptop, a portable charger, a hair dryer, straightener and headset all plugged in.
Bottles of water. I think this is a standard request anymore, but I am shocked by the hotels who do not offer water in the rooms.
Windows that open. I love to bring the outdoors in and sometimes, that isn't possible.
Oh, the list could go on and on, but those are my hot topics and I don't think my wish/want list is different that most corporate travelers. Heading off to my bed to see if I can figure out the sleep timer on my TV so I can get some rest so tomorrow I can keep going.
