Earlier this week, I was a guest on the Dog Walk for a hotel draft.
We chose one amenity, one pro-move, one grievance, one chain, and one continental breakfast item.
I’m pretty simple when it comes to hotels.
I don’t need a suite at the Four Seasons or anything extravagant.
But there are minor things that I think greatly enhance the hotel experience.
So in no particular order, here are 12 requirements I think all hotel rooms should have.
-Shower glass door
This is a simple one.
I just want a nice glass door on my shower instead of a curtain.
Sometimes you see those gross curtains that look like they’ve been there for 40 years.
A glass door just gives it a more luxurious and cleaner feel.
I don’t have a glass door shower in my apartment so this always feels like a nice treat.
It’s impossible to get on, impossible to find the perfect hot temperate, just a total nightmare.
Recently I stayed at this hotel in the picture above and it came with instructions!
Now that’s what I’m talking about.
-Easy AC controls with constant fan option
Making the AC as cold as possible is obviously a pro move.
But I also want the controls to be as simple as possible.
No toggling between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
No worrying about if the fan is on or off.
-Curtains that close all the way
This is a huge pet peeve of mine.
It seems like this happens at most hotels.
But I don’t want to have to be MacGyver in my hotel room.
-Two queen beds
This is a take I’ve long had and stand by fervently.
you might use it for your suitcase and to lay out clothes and other shit.
you could use it as a bed to lay down in during the day in your street clothes.
you’re free to use it to have sexual intercourse either with yourself or with others.
you’re able to use it for basically any non-sleeping activity.
Then you keep the other bed strictly to get into with your night time clothes and go to sleep.
-Laundry bag
This is a minor one, but I just want a laundry bag in every hotel room.
It’s annoying and I forget about it and then think I got a room with no electricity.
I don’t even understand the purpose of it.
Oh no the horror!!!!
-Shower gel dispensers
I want these in the showers.
I didn’t care for that.
But you know exactly what I’m talking about.
It’s the grossest, dirtiest, most unsanitary part of any hotel room.
I just try not to touch it and throw it immediately on the floor.
But don’t even put it on the bed.
Just a standard white light blanket is more than enough.
You just need a fridge, we’re not cavemen.
Apparently they’re just fruit danishes.
Whatever they are, they’re delicious.
