BellaOnline Forums Travel and Culture Business Travel What simple things make a hotel stay enjoyable?

I love a hotel with a Waterpik shower head.

Yes, Connie - those are awesome!

Since we usually travel as a family I like the hotel room to have some room in it. One room on this year's vacation was so small that there literally was not room to walk between the wall and the bed or between the beds! I also like there to be ample parking. I like having a built in blow dryer also. It comes in handy for many uses.

Vintage what other uses do you mean? I am intrigued!

Those build in blow dryers are great for drying small items of clothing after they are hand washed. (Hopefully, NOT washed in the coffee pot!)

Won't the clothes air dry by morning?

It never occurs to me to wash my undies in a public coffeepot. Or in a private coffeepot. But I can see how that could work if one wanted hot water...had no washing machine...maybe one could get a thrift store coffeepot just for handwashing? I am both disgusted and intrigued.

I used the blow dryer when I accidently splash water on my clothes and I need to leave in a hurry. I just aim at the wet spot - and quick dry!

i normally prefer to stay at hotels with a kitchen, like Residence Inn or Homewood Suites. If not, though, I like to at least have a small 'fridge and microwave.
