How about those bathrooms that have only a light, not a fan?!?!? Or, maybe worse but not sure: a light and noisy fan on one switch, so when you just want the light on, the noisy fan goes on and now you can't hear the television news...sigh... What ever happened to a light on one switch and a fan on the other http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

Or hotel location? Just returned from a mini-getaway where my room one night was within throwing distance of a very busy highway and, worse yet, the exit ramp. Absolutely no reason a Hampton should have been built there. Hotel was full so couldn't switch the room, so maybe got a total of 1 hour sleep (trucks, trucks, trucks!)

HVAC either too hot or too cold unless noisy fan is on...

Broken equipment in workout room...

pay parking...

no hooks on back of bathroom door...

not enough hangers in closet when two or more people occupy room.

Hotel was full? I think you just answered your own question. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Drinking beer in bed! I love it! I'll have to try it tonight!

I just stayed in a Hilton where I could not turn the light next to the bed OFF .... I finally had to unplug it! This was a new one for me. I wonder what the next person that rented the room thought.

ditto on the alarm clock in the next room, used coffee pack, scaring myself with the mirror and remote control thing. argghhhHHH!

i remember when you used to be able to stay in a hotel room without hearing the person in the next room talk, sneeze, cough and, uh, you know.

so i guess my pet peeve is paper thin walls.

Grrr... nothing like checking in at night, your room is dark and the lightswitch isn't anywhere close to where you'd think it should be.

When the "Guest Services" button on the phone puts you in touch with someone else's room...At about midnight when calling for a wake-up call. The guy on the other end didn't sound so happy with me, and I don't think he wanted to give me a wake-up call.

Just stayed at the Hyatt Regency Chicago. Paid over $200 per night. They have the nerve to ask for $4.95 a day to use the in-room safe! I thought only the real low end motels did this.

O.K. I am sure this will be real dumb but the sleep does not work on the T.V.

The alarm clock in my room goes off. Why should have to check to see if the clock is set. I don’t use them.

Not dumb at all...Im sorry I didnt think about that one before.

Also, I am getting too old to enjoy listening to the Sexual Olympics in the next room. Just stayed at Tampa airport and they went at it all night....Im jealous

Embassy Suites not giving their E Touch, and the front desk staff knowing nothing about it.

1. A hotel that doesn't heat or cool the hallways - especially one at the level of a Hilton.
2. A hotel at the level of a Hilton 'fixes' the air conditioning controls so that you can't turn the dial past 7 for cooler air (it goes up to 10 - I guess this is their response to not charging an energy surcharge).
3. A front desk SUPERVISOR that doesn't know how to put in your rental car information, or anything else that has to do with your program profile.
4. A hotel at the level of a Hilton or Doubletree that has stains on the carpet, wallpaper peeling off, holes in the sheets, no fitted sheet on the mattress or burn holes in the blankets.
5. Dirty shower curtains that blow in on you (at any hotel level!).
6. Hotels that want you to stay at their chain, promise you certain amenities when you reach certain levels, then having to fight for those amenities that are supposed to just be offered to you.

How about a mirror placed opposite the toilet? I've heard of being vain, but ...
