A: Very difficult.

One of the first things I do when checking into a room is look at the clock to see if the alarm is on (not as often as it used to be) and if the time is accurate. Stayed at one of our favorite properties this past weekend (Sheraton Tribeca), and although the alarm was off, the clock was exactly 2 hours fast (or was it 10 hours slow . . . ?)

I pulled out my phone and googled "How to change the time on an iHome" and found about a dozen tutorials and Youtube videos showing me how to do this. Only 2 of them referred to the model we had in the room, based on where the controls were on our clock, and . . . neither one had any affect.

2 hours exactly we could do the math and quickly know what the time really was. Did mention it when we checked out and they said they'd check it, but really, how hard is it for part of the Room cleanup service to be looking at the clock to make sure the alarm is off and the time is correct.



And how *do* you adjust the time on those things?
