RHMAngelParticipantWow already up to Number 82 (!)
I have only one always fuelling me up to think, say ggggrrrr
Day light robbery for WiFi when it should be an essential business service in business hotel like water in the tap !! if it can be free with a coffee ? & budget hotels less than $70/€50 …why is it not included in hotel rates more than $200/€120 per night …? BIG HATE number 83 !
(sorry if its listed already…. I’d add this pet hate a thousand times)

sandtrekkerParticipant85. Digital pilot lights that stay on all night and light up the room.
86. Complicated shower controls. Believe it or not I once stayed in a hotel with such a system and I was unable to turn it off. I had to phone reception for help. What happened to Hot & Cold and On & Off? Is this why hotel rates continue to be extortionate?25 Oct 2012

HongKongLadyParticipantDirt anywhere but especially baths and showers, dirty grouting and mould. Oh and Hair, having long hair myself I hate anyone else’s in the plug hole and it isn’t good for the plumbing.
Simonhb a mouse lets hope it was a mouse in the toilet ahhh although I did one have one in a hotel room many years ago. You and I are on the same page with RATS, I can’t even say the word without picturing one, a method I have used on occasion is scream and run in the opposite direction although this will probably only work outside.25 Oct 2012

Deleted_UserParticipantThere’s a rat in my bedroom, what am I gonna do?
HongKongLady, your method is the only method. I too would scream and make a sharpish exit!
