I decided to come up with a list of what makes a good hotel.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what makes a good hotel in my opinion:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cleanliness &#8211; this has to go without saying, but unfortunately far too many hotels overlook so many details. \u00a0A dirty hotel is one I will never return to. I don&#8217;t want to walk away with dirty feet, I don&#8217;t want to have to clean the the shower myself, I don&#8217;t want to see stains on towels or anything for that matter. \u00a0Cleanliness is next to godliness&#8230; I think that&#8217;s the saying.<\/li>\n<li>Good Condition &#8211; the hotel has to be in good condition. Not everything has to be brand new, but things need to look well maintained. I don&#8217;t want to see broken furniture, light fixtures that don&#8217;t work, a shower handle that&#8217;s broken, etc&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Wifi &#8211; in today&#8217;s day and age, good wifi is a necessity. Even on vacation people want to connect. \u00a0If I can&#8217;t open a simple application, like Gmail, then your wifi isn&#8217;t sufficient. \u00a0If I&#8217;m on business, good wifi is even more critical.<\/li>\n<li>Outlets &#8211; I have an iPad, iPhone, macBook, and camera battery charger. I need to be able to plug them in without crawling behind the sofa or bed, and the outlets need to be located near the desk or nightstands &#8211; not in the bathroom. \u00a0Two outlets behind the bed just isn&#8217;t going to cut it anymore.<\/li>\n<li>Noise reduction &#8211; I am at a hotel, usually, to sleep. Hotels need to ensure that the noise from air conditionings and other items in the room is minimal. There&#8217;s nothing worse than lying awake wondering if your should turn the air off so that it will stop rattling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are the primary things that I personally need to make a hotel stay good.<\/p>\n<p>What makes a good hotel for you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inspired by a string of bad hotel stays (I think all my bad stays were saved up for the same two weeks this year!)
