It blows my mind that sockets on the nightstand aren’t standard by now.
I just stayed at the Westin in Rome, supposedly a 5 star place, but I don’t think it’s been updated in 30 years. I had to move the nightstand and unplug a lamp, so I could plug my phone in next to the bed. So go get my phone socket I had to lose the lamp. It didn’t even have an alarm clock on the nightstand; there would have been nowhere to plug it in. Maybe they expect everyone to get a wake up call, but the phone was across the room too.
I used to travel with a little power strip, but stopped since I never actually used it. That place needed one badly.
It did have bathroom door though, so it had that going for it.

- walletdrainer 1y agoThe stars are typically assigned based on silly checklists anyway, that’s how you end up with “4-star” $2000+/night Aman properties.
