YY to kettles that can't be put on the table when plugged in. And hairdryers with no mirror.

Also, showers that don't drain so after two minutes they overflow. And basins so tiny you have to crick your neck to rinse out your toothpaste.

Agree with steam a fridge for proper milk would be wonderful.

I'm staying in an hotel now and the cushions were banished to a corner as soon as I entered the room. Ugh.

I don't get why the wifi is so consistently terrible. Do it right or don't bother offering it, I think.

Expensive hotels charging for wifi and a bottle of water pisses me off.

As well as the aforementioned shit mood lighting, why does there have to be a complicated array of light switches that operate the "moody" lights on a seemingly random basis.

I want a bedside lamp, a desk lamp and a normal big light with a normal switch.

Gerry I recently stayed in a hotel that came complete with a tablet to control the lighting and media centre. Needless to say the fecking thing didn't work properly and I never did work out how to use the mood lighting (I could change colour and everything).

The US Hotel where there wasn't a usable plug socket at the desk but 4 in the bathroom and two each side of the bed. I bought an extension lead in the end.

The Belgian hotel that had a lovely Nespresso machine but only 3 pods of coffee and two of those were decaf.

The hotel in London that had 6 cushions on the bed but none on the sofa.

The hotel in Leeds I just visited where the lighting was appalling in the bedroom even with every lamp switched on (had no ceiling lights at all).

Kettles you can't fit under the tap in the bathroom sink.

Towels the size of a postage stamp.

Can you tell I stay in hotels a lot? Only good thing is they normal come with Wine Grin

Yuk to runners, cushions and stained towels. I don't like grimy door handles, light switches or telephones either. I've had all these in 4 and 5 hotels in the last six months.
