What is your pet niggle when staying in hotels?

When staying in hotels I find it very irritating paying for the use of the room safe.
One doesn`t usually pay for the use of the clothes hangers, television, toilet rolls etc but when it comes to the safe there is a charge and quite a hefty one too. :eek:
Perhaps Martin could launch a campaign to ban this dreadful charge.

Mine has to be the lack of a plug next to the mirror. How is a girl supposed to straighten her hair????
Also Air Conditioning that is either WAY to cold or WAY to hot0 -
All the additional taxes and fees upon check out.0

Pay for the safe? I've never had to. Try a different hotel.
Low wattage lighting is my dislike.0 -
The point on the toilet roll lets you know the maid has been in and cleaned the place after the last person left, I think!
My pet hate- curtains that don't block out the light
Any dirt of any kind
Mini bars' extortionate charges.Member of the first Mortgage Free in 3 challenge, no.19
Balance 19th April '07 = minus £27,640

Oh, don't get mestarted on curtains. I stayed at a hotel in Aurora, Illlinois for one night last year and the room didn't even have curtains! All i got was a view of a rail road. I got there late (11pm) as my flight was delayed so I just wanted a bed to sleep in.
My pet peeves are not having tea/coffe making facilities and not having an iron.Hoping this year is better than the last.

Classing the mini-bar as an desirable amenity, when in reality it's just a cash-cow for the hotel. They might as well say "we have a slot in the room where you can drop in your unwanted five-pound notes"What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0

Mirrors !
I am 'only' 6 ft tall but whenever I try and comb my hair in a hotel bathroom mirror all I can see is from my navel to my chin !
Are hotels designed by the vertically challenged ?0 -
