The hotel is different from the bad good
Writes Sergey Dolya:
The last few years I have been more than half a year living in different hotels and for themselves brought criteria to determine how soon you're in a bad hotel ...

Minibar
The farther away from Moscow, the more often come across the hotel with an empty minibar in the room. That is, the owners of these hotels had heard that the rooms should be mini-bar, but do not understand why he needed there. Often minibar - a full-size refrigerator, which is not even plugged in. Really hard to put at least vodichku?
Dear hotel owners worldwide when checking a person take a pledge of cash or credit card, so that he could spend it on your minibar. Mini-bar - this is an additional source of income for you, because the prices there you can put both in the restaurant. A discharge, you can always check the number and retain part of the deposit if the guest encroach on the contents of the minibar.
Another observation: if the owners managed to hide in the closet miniabr, then 90% of the cabinet door is open in one direction and the other in the refrigerator door. At the same time, it shows up in a resounding emptiness in spite of the announcement that for the contents of the minibar you have to pay separately:
Disinfect
If the toilet or sink is a plate "disinfected" means the owner of the hotel was in the distant Soviet past, when cleanliness and order were separate option. All toilets should be clean by default! This is such an elementary rule that does not even require discussion. If you try the basic condition vtyuhat under the guise of special care, it is alarming:
Towels
The first place we usually go after the settlement - shower and toilet. Number of towels and size clearly show the attitude of the hotel owners to his client. A good host puts some towels, one leg (put it on the floor instead of carpet), two for the body (large and small), even for a couple of tiny hands, and just in case. And in the room there should always be two sets of towels, regardless of whether the one you live in it, or together.
In a bad hotel towels number reduced to two, their size decreases, the thickness of the thinner and they are faded-perestirannymi. In very bad hotel towels not put white and dark blue or some other "non-white" color. Guess why.
Another observation. Sometimes, even in good hotels, put towels on the bed, instead of putting them in the bathroom. Not foreseeing the trick, you climb into the shower and then forced to swear and slap naked and wet on the number in the search for towels. All towels must be in the bathroom!
Linens
As well as towels, underwear is something that you just touch your naked body. Sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers must be made of quality materials, as well as a pillow and a blanket. Pads must be several alternatives of different sizes and elasticity. A good hotel linens in any case should not be a "non-white" color. Any designs and drawings - a sure sign of lousy hotel:
Sockets
Sockets is a thing that did not seem to notice. Do not even think about it. But if there is no outlet, life becomes unbearable, especially if you have luggage to a dozen gadgets that need charging. Often in our hotels is difficult to find an outlet. They are either busy TV and minibar, or are somewhere in the nightstand, or - which happens more often - and it both at the same time. We have to expand the search to the threshold event, moving tables and arrange redesign rooms. Really it is not clear that in our technological age of the person requires a minimum of two sockets - for computer and phone:
The expedition of this we live always with the greatest possible comfort:
Slippers
A good host puts in a nightstand disposable slippers. And not just transparent thin slippers, like a shoe and thick-soled sneakers. Economy host honestly do not put anything. Tricky host puts reusable rubber shoes:
Soundproofing
When all night in the next room ignites team any expedition, no ear plugs will not help if the construction of the hotel owner did not take care of soundproofing. Even worse, when in the next room someone tormented girl, and you have almost 2 months on the road, away from the family:
Amenities (Toilet?
Bathrooms hotels can meet a variety of combinations of free shampoos, combs and cotton swabs. In bad shampoo bookings will not even in the bottle, but in a bag or on a wall in a large dispenser. The good hotels all cosmetics company will L'Occitane. The great Hermes:
Shower
This item is pointless to want to see as a tendency. What do the main task of the hotel? To make it convenient, comfortable and cozy man on a business trip or holiday. It is enough to observe the simple conditions: cleanliness, comfort and convenience. But many provincial hotels are trying to replace it Ponty, because of which there are showers with hydromassage, and other such "luxury". Moreover, this cabin is sure to be of cheap plastic and flow, and the hot water supplied from the barrel, after half an hour of heating.
Curtains with blackout
In a good hotel besides the usual tulle and zanovesok will also thick curtains that will help not wake up with the first rays of the sun. This is especially significant for the first day of the trip, if you change time zones, and the meeting you have just scheduled for the evening.
Air conditioner
I lived once in Morocco at the hotel in the desert where there was no air conditioning, but the street was 38 during the day and 30 at night ...
The ability to open up a window for ventilation
Often ventilation in the room is switched on only after you insert the card into the card slot. If you are up in the room no one lived a couple of days, or a previous guest spilled oil on the carpet, opening a jar of cod liver, the air can be a very unpleasant taste and smell. Even the presence of the air conditioner will not save you ...
Turning off the light switch from one
Once in a very nice hotel, where everything is controlled with a huge touch panel, I tried to turn off all the lights in the room before going to bed. As a result, a couple of light bulbs and could not repay, and had covered them with towels to keep the light in your eyes. Very handy when next to the bed there is a switch, which cuts down while all the light in the room.
Tucked the blanket under the mattress
Well, my personal hell. First of all, going into the room, I check the blanket. If charged, then I throw all the forces out to prepare the bed in the evening and only then begin to dismantle the suitcase.
This key, in my opinion quality indicators hotels. I suggest that you expand this list for its observations.
