Note: You may want to get this poll asked somewhere in the Miles section of FT. There is very little "traffic" on this forum. You may try it in the various hotel forums.

Since most hotels have a tub with a shower,I don't see that as a negative (although tiny tub is useless)
Some of my thoughts (not in ant particular order):
1.No electrical outlets near the desk.
2.No soap holding area for showering,e.g. you need to keep the soap and shampoo on the side of the tub.
3.Shower spray. Many are useless.
4.Acess to the pool only through the lobby.Even some of the finer ones have people in swim suits walking through a beautiful lobby area.
5.Light switches should be easy to reach as you enter a room,including the bathroom. Groping around in the dark is no fun.
6. Inadequate water pressure,especially for flushing.
7.Not enough counter space and/or cabinets in wash rooms.
8.Too few elevators for the hotel's potential capacity.
9.No house phone on every floor.Whether an emergency or room key that doesn't work,it's always nice when there is a phone (generally by the elevators)to call the front desk.
10.Door lock. Nothing frustrates me more than having a poor lock/key system. Some you have to hold the door in as you put in your card,some you have to quickly remove,etc.This happens with new as well as old hotels.
