Wireless internet is the most important aspect of any hotel for the business traveler. Please have wireless that works flawlessly at all hours of the day and night. And on that note…why is it that the expensive boutique hotels charge $10 a day for internet while the $99 Holiday Inn Express down the street offers the same service for free?

I must note that I disagree with #7. When I'm on vacation the pamphlet tower is actually quite helpful. Especially now that I have a child and need to find activities more suitable than the local dive bar or nightclub.

I agree about the power plugs one! One accessible plug is not enough per room

Dear hotels: I am not going to steal your hangers. I am prosperous enough to buy my own hangers from WalMart. Please allow us to remove the hangers from the closet in one piece rather than putting them together like two puzzle pieces.

Well done, T. One of your best posts. While we're at it, can we broaden the selection of the continental breakfast. I actually do eat more than Raisin Bran and a Green Banana for breakfast

I agree with Bryan here. I also do not care for prison grade sausage.

You forgot another reason to use the coffee mini-pots: hopelessly cheap. I have tried many times to use these confounded machines to save a few bucks, but it always comes out tasting like dirty dress socks. Then I end up buying coffee somewhere else and have wasted my time. Thanks, hotels…

I should probably take some personal responsibility and learn my lesson to not even bother with it, but hey, there’s always tomorrow.

I would prefer that the default attitude of staff be do-not-disturb. I often forget to hang the laminated doorknob hanger. I also have four children, so a stay in a hotel could represent the one out of 365 mornings in a year I actually get to sleep in. This should motivate me to remember to hang the laminated door thingy, but I still forget. Please, do not disturb.

hotel towels can be tricky….they are either so stiff and scratchy that they leave marks on my back. or they are so soft they don't absorb one drop, instead they just move the droplets all around, not to mention leave a fluff residue. hotels, please make wise towel decisions and don't hesitate to use downy.

I just love how the description for hotel rooms boast about the 25 or 27" COLOR Television.

People travelling these days need outlets for plugging in their stuff. I do not enjoy pulling out the couch or bed side table to venture into areas that haven't seen the light of day for years just to find an outlet (wich requires me unplugging something) to plug in my phone or computer, etc.
