There are three things that anger me about hotel rooms and hotel design and function: lighting, connectivity for my electronic devices, and the in-room thermostat.
My room is either too cold or too hot, and the time it takes to figure out how to operate that thermostat can often exceed the time I’m actually staying at the hotel.
What’s worse is that some hotels lock the thermostat temperature so it won’t make a difference how it’s set.
Always check to see if that’s the case, because the hotel can reset your room temperature from a central location—no matter what your thermostat reads.
In the meantime, I remain a big fan of keeping it simple.
I don’t need to program a NASA launch.
I just want to set the temperature and then have the option to turn it on or off.
We don’t need high tech, we just need common sense.
If I can control the temperature in my room, it will directly influence my decision to return to that hotel.
