I've only been to europe a few times and haven't stayed at that many hotels, but noticed an annoying trend. Many hotels that cater to business or leisure traveler don't have an in room coffee or espresso machine.

to list, FRA's hilton and HGI, paris holiday inn, barcelona hilton, a boutique 4star hotel in florence. Further the radisson by rome train station didn't even have a kettle and I had to get them to fetch me one.

so is this a thing? every hotel i've stayed at in the us had some kind of coffee machine.
