I spent the last four days on the road, we went on a college visiting trip up north and just returned. On the way up and back we spent time in hotels, we didn’t stay in the roach infested variety but we didn’t stay at the swank ones either. If it was a well-known chain with clean rooms and a complimentary breakfast, we booked it. There were a few things I noticed that they all had in common, things I would not think of needing while on the road.
- Why do they supply a shower cap? Does anyone use these? Is it expected that most of the guests have their hair done once a week at the boutique? I don’t know what the average age of guests is but a shower cap in every bathroom indicates to me that most of the guests are over eighty.
- Bubble bath? While on the road I saw a today show report on how clean the rooms really are. Let’s just say there is no way I am setting my bare backside on the tub in a strange hotel room. I don’t carry a black light or anything but I am going to avoid contact with most of the surfaces in the hotel.
- French shaved soap. What the heck is that? Can you put a regular bar of a soap in the bathroom? I get it, you are trying to say you are fancy, but I don’t care. When I wash my hands it doesn’t need to be some overpriced French filled perfume monstrosity. All it needs is enough killing power to get rid of whatever I just picked up touching the counter in your bathroom.
