How can hotels profess to cater to business people, who travel w/more & more gadgets every day, & overlook something like this??
The Courtyard I stayed in in December had that licked too. Both bedside lamps (either side of the king bed) had an outlet built in, and above that fixed part of the desk was a strip of several outlets as I recall. Obviously they may not all have this new furnishing yet (I stayed in another Courtyard in September that didn't yet have the new stuff). But some chains are attempting to pay attention to these needs, it seems.
