I've found that after staying in countless hotels, I've developed my own list of pet peeves:

(1) alarm clock going off at 4AM in the adjoining (empty) room. Why can't housekeeping check the alarm clocks as part of cleaning after a guest checks out?

(2) towels that are hung on a rack mounted over the toilet. It never fails - reach out from the shower, grab a towel, remaining towels fall into toilet.

(3) microwave pancakes at breakfast. If they crunch, they shouldn't be served, especially if you don't have status and are paying $8 or so.


I'd be interested in seeing others...
