There are many more things hotels should get rid of:
- carpets,
- centrally controlled AC,
- checkout lines.
It baffles me how a cheap motel can get this right whereas the expensive chain hotel across the street can't.
- arghwhat 3y agoIn most hotels you can just drop the keycard at the front desk and leave. They know what to do. There’s also a lot of people that set the A/C to 18 degrees and leave, which is terrible.
- acjacobson 3y agoThis is why you see a number of hotels linking the A/C (and electricity etc) to keycards. If the keycard isn't in the slot, then the A/C isn't running.
- moepstar 3y ago..until someone finds out that whatever plasticky card you got in your purse doubles up as a keycard just fine - something just has to disengage the NC contact... Edit to add: and also keeps the outlets on (charging your phone, ...) and the lights if you so desire...
- eru 3y agoBusiness cards work as well.
- throwawaysleep 3y agoYou assume they haven’t. AC I understand, but I would bet carpets and human service are part of the perceived added value (especially when the expensive hotel crowd would be older). Also, most high end hotels I have been at have a key drop box at the front desk if you want to just go.
- aden1ne 3y agoCarpets are absolutely unhygienic tho, especially in an environment that sees many different individuals use them. They are much harder to properly clean than hard surfaces, and if they ever get wet due to a leak or spill the entire room will stink for a significant time thereafter. I much prefer hotels with hard surface floors for that reason. > Also, most high end hotels I have been at have a key drop box at the front desk if you want to just go. Interestingly, I associate the key drop box mostly with cheap hotels.
