Web tops hotel room wish list
LONDON, England -- Hotel items like trouser presses and shower caps are outdated and useless, according to a survey that says they should be substituted for Internet access and laptop chargers. Web site travel company Expedia interviewed more than 500 business travellers in the United Kingdom for its survey of the things people wanted and did not want in their hotel room. The Bible topped the list of the least-useful items with 37 percent of the participants saying they find it something they would not want to use.
Shower caps were also given the brush-off with 22 percent saying they had no use for the head wear. Sweets on the pillow after the staff turn downed the bed left a bad taste in 18 percent of those surveyed. And the trouser press created a wrinkle with 10 percent of the participants. Internet connections topped the list of things business travellers would most like to see in their rooms with a whopping 42 percent wanting them. Sixteen percent thought mobile phone and laptop chargers would be useful, making the items the second most popular. Work stations and ergonomic chairs were favoured by 14 percent while 12 percent thought their room could be improved by the presence of printers, photocopiers and fax machines. An overwhelming 70 percent surveyed felt they were penalised by unreasonably high rates in hotels with modern facilities. Just two percent were interested in the provision of adult TV channels in their hotel rooms.
