- Those stupid key cards - on a three week trip, I go through about five keys. Either my phone deactivates them, I lose them or I lock them in my room.
- Crappy hotel TV. Thank god most have HGTV
- Undoing the hospital corners of my bedding. I HAVE to be able to poke my feet out!
- Having to unplug a bed-side lamp to plug in my phone charger. And the hotels that have the nifty lamps with the built-in outlet? The outlet is in a funny position and won't work for my blackberry or iPad/iPod charger.
Last year, I stayed at the Marriott in Alpharetta, Georgia where I saw this beauty and I wondered why I didn't think of that - more specifically, why every hotel doesn't have this!
Here's a more detailed pic:
The end of the entertainment unit had two outlets, plus hook-ups for just about every type of video input. No fussing with the back of the TV! They even made it pretty fool-proof by adding a button next to the input slots so you don't have to find the corresponding channel with the remote. So if you want to hook up your computer for a video conference, just plug it in at the VGA spot and press the button next to it! Same for HDMI or the old school red/white/yellow input. Oh, and aux input too.
The connections were easy to access and super handy as a place to charge my phone and iPod. It was super convenient solution to a problem or annoyance I just thought I had to deal with.
