A few of us on here must to travel frequently for work - what are the things that annoy you about hotels?

I'll start ....

The Fridge: -

Make sure it is bewilderingly noisy, after all it's in a bedroom. 

Preferably, the socket should be located somewhere difficult to reach.  That way guests will try and push through the noise and get to sleep.

Optimally the fridge should be empty except for single serves of UHT milk, which don't need to be refrigerated. 

If this isn't possible, the fridge should be full of overpriced minibar items, so there is no room for the customers own purchases from the reasonably priced liquor store next door.

shrub: I've been staying in hotels a bit lately and my biggest gripe is WiFi prices eg. Novotel Chch $9.99 200mb over 2hrs or $19.90 1gb over 24hrs. Yet the Ridges Latimer 1 block over is unlimited and Free.
I remember these things when im booking, next time i will avoid Novotel just for this reason.


I always get free wi-fi in Novotel properties because I have Platinum status in the Accor Le Club. It's often worth sticking with the same chain to get up the ladder a bit for reasons like that.
