    So what's your favourite part of staying in a hotel?

    I'm away with work now and I've put all my drink"s down to a colleagues room, he's a bit of a goodies two shoes so I don't feel bad at all. So what do you like most about staying over in a hotel?

    Pulling back the sheets to discover the horrors that lie beneath.

    Oh just the general luxury and relaxing feel of it, and the way you don't have to worry about cleaning it (I'm not advocating leaving it like a pigsty), washing towels and sheets etc - love it!

    Getting the ride is the best part about nights in a hotel

    Heading home with a new kettle, mirror, duvet, towels, toilet seat, bulbs and batteries.

    Massive luxurious beds and supersoft pillows and bedclothes.

    It's so good.

    As I don't have a bathtub in my house (just a power shower), I relish a nice long soak in the tub without the risk of a relative hammering on the door telling me to hurry the **** up. Ahh, the joys of only having one bathroom in a 3 person household...
    Been a while since I was last in a hotel room but my last holiday was on a cruise ship and we had a lovely man who was assigned to look after our needs and whims regardless of time. Want a fancy-pants gourmet sandwich at 3am? No problem!
    He made the beds every night and would regularly delight me by leaving little sculptures made out of towels on the bed- swans, puppies and at one stage, a towel monkey hanging off a hanger!
    It was awesome! :D

    Ive stayed in hotels for work related business before and there was something so relaxing about finishing work and heading back by yourself to a nice quite cossy room with a big bed and tv and no one around you.

    Oh yeah i almost forgot sex in big bath tub! :-)

    Actually my friend told me about this hotel she stayed in in Japan. And they made a swan and a person out of the towels and put it on her bed.

    Someone else makes breakfast, and it's more than cereal and milk.

    The charm wears off pretty quickly once you get to the stage where you know pretty much what the menu will be like (chicken, pasta, burger, salmon, steak) in advance, once you realise that almost all hotel rooms have pretty much the same layout.

    We stayed in this deadly hotel in Galway a few months ago, got the bridal suite and it had a jacuzzi big enough for two people. It was amazing!! Four poster bed, chocolates, wine, fluffy robes.

    Stayed in the westbury last year just before Christmas. Amazing too. Checkout at 4pm. Plasma in the toilet. Macaroons left in the room. Most comfortable bed ever! After dinner that night we got one of those dudes that has the bike taxi to spin us around, so much fun. I can't wait to go back this year but well wait closer to Christmas so it's all pretty with lights again.

    Turning the heating up to the last, opening the windows, leaving the lights, TV, radio, and all the taps running all night.

    Fuck it, get your money's worth.

    Wow!

    Actually I remember once the fan in a hotel room. The window was open. And you could hear people outside.

    It's the atmosphere more than anything.

    I remember he and I paid for a hotel in town. I can't remember the name.

    It probably wasn't high class or anything my half was only 70 for the night. It was definitely the atmosphere and talking all night on the bed. And the other stuff on the bed :-D

    Yeah it's more fun when it's away. Hotel sex is always better than home sex! Just like its better than home baths, home bed, home breakfast.

    Just one thing. Forgive me please, but why was there plasma in the toilet?

    Not forgetting ordering pretty much whatever you want off the menu and not having to pay for or expense it. Also adding a couple of sneaky pints on there.

    That aside it usually means if I'm not away with work im on holiday so that whole association is good vibes and more.

    Make sure you take your complimentary TV at the end of your stay.
