Part of the reason for the rise of AirBnB is that hotels suck too:

  • "Your $225 per night hotel", oh sorry, all those rooms are booked, we do still have these $250 per night rooms though...
  • Oh, you didn't want to be next to the ice machine and hear that crunch sound all night? There's another room here but that will be $275...
  • Not next to the elevators? Well, there's this $300 room down the hall
  • Yes, the room has a mini-fridge. Oh, we didn't tell you but it's 100% full of overpriced things, and if you touch one you bought it. No, there's no way to put your own things in the fridge.
  • Oh, you wanted to use the TV? Well, we have HotelTV and every time you turn it on it goes to the HotelTV channel, you can get all the local TV stations too. HDMI? No, sorry, we don't have that feature.
  • Of course we offer a free "continental breakfast", it's offered between 4:35 and 5:20 AM, and consists of reconstituted dehydrated eggs, malk, cereal, taste-free muffins, and pancakes. We're out of pancakes.
  • Internet? Of course we offer Internet. Just sign on to this captive portal and you can use Google. Send emails? You should be able to get to gmail... Play games? You mean like backgammon? I think we have a backgammon set in the back here. VPN? That sounds like hacking...

What kind of hotels do you frequent?

Normal ones? But as infrequently as possible.
