Today’s hotel rooms are not designed by anyone who spends time in them. From Sliding Barn Bathroom Doors that will “Smash” your hand if you’re not quick, to the change to “Pump Bottle Soap, Shampoo & Conditioner” which is you’re not 5’10” or more is a pain in the butt to use. They mount them way too high for small adults or children to use comfortably or properly. Couple that with how often housekeeping forgets to refill them and they’re a bad idea!
The newer builds seems to use “Thin” or poor sound quality glass. Way too many hotels near the interstates make sleeping tough when the trucks roar by all night long. Add to that, cheap walls and doors and all you hear is noise all night long. I do love the new signs about “Quiet Time” from 10:00pm to 6:00am. Those are respected!
HVAC Systems. These are the worst. I swear the ones in the rooms I stay in know when I’m sleeping. Seems they’re throttled back by the hotel to conserve costs between midnight and five or six in the morning. Often wake to find it 5 or 6 degrees hotter then the setting at 3:00am. Weirde, huh?
Windows. Moving forward, I beg all hotels to have Windows that OPEN! It’s hard to breathe stale air all the time. Allow windows to open and fresh to come in. It will save on Air Freshner!
