I travel far too much for work and stay in hotels.
There are numerous things that bug the fuck out of me regarding a night at her average ‘business’ hotel:
• the modern propensity for ‘informality’ at check in. I want somebody in a uniform BEHIND a counter to say ‘good evening sir’ and deal with me efficiently. I’m knackered. I just want my key. I DON’T want a 15 year old casually dressed hipster with a lanyard standing at a workstation in FRONT of the counter showing me how to log in and create my own key card whilst saying ‘you guys’ to the people who came in after me.
• room service. I’m knackered. I don’t want to spend the entire evening staring into space in your shite restaurant so please at least get my order correct when I eat in my room so I don’t have to keep calling for cutlery or my missing coke. It’s bad enough I have to eat burger or pizza every night coz your menu is crap but at least give me the burger or pizza I actually ordered.
• clean the room
• can I have some LIGHT please. All this strategically positioned mood spot-lighting may be fab for creating that romantic feel but I can’t f***ing SEE anything. Is it coz the light would demonstrate that you’d failed to achieve the bullet point above this one.
• I f***ing KNOW what a buffet breakfast is. I can see what’s on the counter. I don’t need it described in detail and escorting to a table like you are escorting every single individual customer to a table after checking their name and room number which just results in every single individual customer standing waiting for you to come back from showing the previous customer to a table that you could have just POINTED AT!
• It’s too hot.
• it’s too cold
• Those bottles of shampoo that you fix to the wall so people don’t fuck off with the little bottles are all very well. But maybe they could be better designed so you don’t have to be so manually dexterous to get a smidgeon of soap on the tip of your finger whilst you try not to soak the whole floor with a shower head that won’t stay on the wall.
Any more?
The biggest gripe for me is LIGHT. But I’m visually impaired (to a degree) so it’s a bugger for me.
PS : TLDR
