Howdy folks,

Here's a dissenting opionon for ya'll. I generally get in late, and leave early.

But - My average hotel stay is most likely 3 nights. Generally, I get back to the room around 7pm and go to sleep around midnight.

A suite allows me to eat dinner with the Television to the channel I want, with a table and chairs to spread my work out on, followed by catching up on some reading on the couch. When I'm ready, I retire to the bed.

Having a table and chair to eat and work at, along with a full couch to relax/work on; makes my 5 hours each night more productive than when I'm cramped into a single room, with a tiny desk at best. In the morning, I brew a pot of coffee and get an hour or two of work in before I reach the client site (I generally get up at 6am).

So for me, when I'm traveling alone on business, I really appreciate the suite.

Oddly enough - when my wife travels with me, that's when I don't care about the suite. The only time I'm in the room with her is when we're in bed - breakfast is out in a resturant, or a picnic. After dinner, we do things - see the local sites, etc... Not being in the room much, I don't have the time to appreciate anemities in the room as much, so they are then of a lesser concern to me.

Keep the faith,

Pakse
