+1 on early airport breakfasts. Flights at 6:00 or 7:00 are very common, so it's amazing that airport hotels -- whose core business is probably customers on late night arrivals and early morning departures -- don't offer breakfast for such passengers.

Stayed at an airport hotel at CDG (name eludes me right now) some years ago when I was in my teens, sharing the room with a good (but not that good) female friend. What we thought was chocolate on the pillow turned out to be a condom! We were (as teen girls are apt) in hysterics!

I remember staying in one small Washington hotel in 2009, the lighting heating system got broken or sth, anyway, no heat. We were almost frozen to death. The owner kept on explaining, but did nothing to make up for it. But to most of the other hotels I used to stay, I have to say there are great!! particularly those in California.
