10 things I hate about staying at a hotel {Gadling}
Dec 3rd 2008 4:00PM Spot on!
To add a couple more... first, regarding the TV - my biggest pet peeve is hotels that install fancy new 50" flat panel LCDs in the room, then don't provide any high-definition channels, so all the programming looks like stretched out, pixelated crap.
And one that you didn't mention... the in-room safe. Half the time it's not big enough for my laptop (a 15" widescreen, which is pretty standard size these days). Usually it's not even bolted down to anything, so someone could grab the entire thing, take it with them, and break it open off site. And finally, several times, I've been unable to open the safe, and been given the "master" codes by the front desk. If they know the override codes and give them out to guests at will, that's not very secure, is it?
One positive thing... at least most places now have a power outlet or two on top of desk. I used to hate having to crawl under furniture or manhandle a dresser to find an outlet to plug in my laptop or phone to charge.
