1) Unresponsive TV remotes
2) Getting to your room to find the key card doesn't work
3) Posh hotels not providing ironing boards and tea and coffee facilities
as standard
4) Dodgy wifi internet reception, and no cable provided for wired connection
5) Pillows that look plump and enormous, but are in fact as flat as pancakes when you put your head on them
6) Duvet covers tucked in to the bed - how am i meant to get in?!
7) Multitudes of lights on in the room when i arrive, and even worse... the TV on!
8) Minibars that charge just for taking the product out of its holder - big brother is watching you.
9) Double beds that are really two singles pushed together.
10) Bathroom soaps that dry your skin to within a layer of its life.

Hey you missed the most annoying thing...
Low wattage lights(s) at the desk. Hard to work when its so dim!
The wattage of the light in the warbrobe is frequently higher than the light on the desk.
Solution - work in the wardrobe!

and beds made up with sheets and blankets so that they finish just under your armpits - and are so tighly tucked in at the bottom it's a major bed remake!

Rooms that so obvioulsy havent been cleaned.
Pathetic showers that you have to run around to get wet.
Refurbished rooms where they have painted round the existing fittings.

In addition to the above...
1) Hotels that ONLY offer an iron/ironing board, and won't press shirts for you
2) The recent fad of remote controls no longer having sleep timer on them
3) Finding out that the Pay-TV is not actually available/working [in countries where news channels are the only English option!]
4) Being made to wait at check-out in some hotels, while someone secretly runs to your room to check the mini-bar, and see if you stole any hangers. Ridiculous! Especially for Platinum guests!
5) Flimsy walls, so you can hear your neighbours alarm clock at stupid times...
6) Finding hairs in your room/bathroom... which aren't yours!
7) Windows that won't open. After 10 hours on an overly air-conditioned flight, the last thing I want to do is blast the AC in my room.
8) Lack of options or flexibility on room-service menu... I'm vegetarian!
9) Rooms which have an un-removable smell of smoke, even though you booked non-smoking
10) Being charged extra for double occupancy. Why? It's the same bed, it doesn't cost the hotel any more!
