As you all know I’ve been travelling for the past 3 weeks on business.
Not exactly my cup of tea since the whole point of moving to Montreal, Canada was so I could be with BF, but …. when money calls, it screams.
Here’s my random list of 10 things I really don’t like about hotel rooms when I am travelling on business (or sometimes for pleasure)
1. Not enough power outlets.
2. Lack of good views all around the hotel. I’m currently looking out on a parking lot.
3. Lack of light (or too much light and they’re stealing all the damn outlets!)
4. No solid desks to work on that have space for a mouse, a hard drive and papers. I feel scrunched on this little wooden thing.
5. A coffee maker….. but what if I wanted tea, not coffee?
6. No mini fridge to store leftovers
7. The bed being too soft (I like my bed very hard)
8. Blankets aren’t thick enough/Bad pillows
9. The toiletries they give you really strip your hair/skin and I have to bring ALL my products zipped in a tiny little plastic bag as per the security rules *rolls eyes*
10. They are chock full of allergens, dust and snifflies. My eyes turn bright red after a day in a hotel room.
- If that isn’t the worst pick-up line I’ve ever heard…
- Packing light for the flight
- So tell me again why I can’t buy this…?
- Aveska – your Enterprise Access Governance Solution
- Socially acceptable excuses

Ooooh, here’s one. Hotels don’t always have Wi-Fi, and when they do, it’s never high speed internet.
Otherwise, I actually enjoy sleeping in beds that are always made up by someone else in the morning.
And their all-you-can-eat continental breakfasts.

I hate when there’s no mini-fridge too! That’s definitely my biggest beef.

arianne: Or they cap you some how. Actually I’ve been lucky lately.
Katelin: I love it when they have fridges and a BIG DESK.
Maxie: LOL!

What about shitty internet connection even on ethernet cable? When I was living out of a hotel for two weeks while I was traveling for work, the internet connection sucked.
