You gotta love hotels that outfit all rooms with HDTV...and then don't provide any channels actually *in* HD.

Also, I hate it when the hotel has 96 channels of TV but no little card listing the channels and numbers. Hotel remotes always work glacially slow...if you just want that CNN background noise, it can take you 10 minutes to find it.

While we're on the TV topic, it seems like U.S. hotels have the worst television offerings. I don't watch a lot of TV in hotel rooms but it seems like the selection is always quite limited. Hotels in Europe and the Middle East frequently have a much broader selection that provides something for almost any global visitor.
