This is what I wish every hotel room would include
I’ve been thinking about this for a while. I traveled quite a bit in the last few years, with the specific focus on what various hotel properties provide. Sometimes I was amazed by what I received, other times I found them lacking. As a result I’ve come together with a list of what I wish…

Why it may be worth it to stay at a luxury hotel
For some people, a luxury hotel is just not worth it. They look at the cost and immediately start looking elsewhere, or after they rant about the ridiculousness of it all.

Time for a rant, because the slang is cringe
Perhaps I’m jaded, but there is something about slang being used in ads that makes me cringe. The “slay” and “it’s giving” from corporate content just makes me recoil.
