Just got to thinking that we (as a group) expect certain things in a lodging experience that transcend the door we enter and four walls of the room in which we stay.
That being said, what elements of a stay at a hotel (can be Marriott or other) make your line of work, your business, easier to do? Said another way, what about a hotel stay increases your productivity and ability to work effectively?
My list would include:
- good lighting at the desk and the bed
- Ability to access a business center 24 hours a day for copying, printing, etc.
- Reliable, functioning Internet, both wired and wireless (though I wish there were more secure connections).
- Staff that cater to the sometimes unusual requests of folks like me, who might need something at 3 am.
- A Concierge Lounge that can add to relaxation without being a gathering spot for throngs.
Notice that I left Elite recognition off the list? It's nice but not necessary.
Thoughts?
