myLot reputation of 98/100. Scoop_Dogg (1932) 3 years ago

I am off on a business trip today and I spent some time picking out the hotel I am staying at.

What do you look for when checking out accommodation?

Do you like cheap and cheerful, because after all you are only sleeping there. yawn

Or do you prefer lots of facilities?

Gym, jacuzzi, trouser press, t'internet, hot and cold running barmaids?

Hiya Scoop_Dogg,
I'm having loads of trouble here imagining you has a serious business man not how I think of you at all..lol...I don't go on business trips but am looking at the mo for a holiday and I like quality but at the right price.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Scoop_Dogg (1932)  3 years ago

Hi Scorchio,

How do you think of me? confused

Not a suave sophisticated city gent, obviously. lol

Are holidaying abroad this year or do you fancy a little something in the Coltswolds?


myLot reputation of 96/100. scorpio19 (653)  3 years ago

well I don't really have a firm image of you..I'm not prone to thinking of you often but a suited and booted business man..nope I'm not getting cos your so funny on here, well I'm going abroad for my 40th with some friends and no kids, which my youngest son keeps pointing out to me in the holiday brochures "the first child goes free mum" think he's trying to tell me something..lol


myLot reputation of 98/100. Scoop_Dogg (1932)  3 years ago

It's all a facade really, scorpio.

The BIG 4-O eh?

Life begins then, so they say. If it's true then we have wasted a lot of years. Wherever you go, I hope you have a great time. thumbup

Most of my travels are for leisure. So whenever I book for a hotel or a resort, it is important that the room does not look like my bedroom at home. I also want it to have a bathtub because I do not have one at home. Facilities are also very important with me, and most preferably a swimming pool and a tennis court.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Scoop_Dogg (1932)  3 years ago

I prefer showers, bubble, but now and again a long soak in a tub is nice.

You could have had both at my hotel this week, so the best of both worlds. I only took a shower.

Love tennis but no time. Maybe if I go again in the summer.

Thanks for posting. thumbup

When ever we travel usually its for leisure so me and my bf look for a hotel with good facilities so that we can relax.

I like cheerful and helpful hotel staffs.
I like a hotel that has a gym, swimming pool, spa and most important is a big bath tub in our room! thumbup


myLot reputation of 98/100. Scoop_Dogg (1932)  3 years ago

I too like cheerful and helpful staff, sophie.

It makes for such a much more pleasant trip. I experienced this at my hotel, so I would definitely go back again. No swimming pool but there was a gym and a BIG bath tub, which I didn't use. doh

hiya scoop

I'd be quite happy staying in fawlty towers lol, anywhere there's fun and laughter to be had. Seriously I check for location, price and prefer B&B so that I always have the freedom to eat at any time or any place that suits me. I would like internet facility too, but aren't we supposed to try and get away from the everyday things? I'd miss Lotting though blink

Alice happy


myLot reputation of 98/100. Scoop_Dogg (1932)  3 years ago

If you were at Fawly Towers, Alice, I fear I would always be fumbling for the light switch. wink

Luckily, this week I had most of my preferred facilities at hand, including the light switch! lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. Aliceinwebland (5358)  3 years ago

why? confused what have you got to fear? what's the need for the light?


myLot reputation of 98/100. Scoop_Dogg (1932)  3 years ago

No, I was focusing on the 'fumbling' drool

I guess it depends. Usually when I take a trip alone for leisure the hotel needs a pillow and sheet...so price might as well be low. If for business since I am not paying it might as well be nicer just in case. I prefer a bar over a gym....I can handle the pressure to make use of the bar (since it it there) more than the pressure to use the gym. I hopefully do not have to do any work so internet is not important, but I know some people that really need the internet for a variety of reasons. I'll leave the barmaids for you....don't need that form of complication in my life. Now if the family is traveling that is a whole different story. Then I search until I can find something really nice for a good price. I will do whatever it takes to take care of my family.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Scoop_Dogg (1932)  3 years ago

When on pleasure trips, of course the family takes precedence. When it is business then a more selfish approach is no bad thing I feel.

This time I opted for comfort and affordability, but in the future I might look for more excesses.

Hi ya Scoop_Dogg

Well as I am a single mum (yawn) I have no choice but to go cheap and cheerful. Last weekend I had to go to Camberly with my kids and mum, we stayed at the Travelodge which had no mod cons but for the amount of time we stayed in the room the tv, bathroom with shower, beds and tea/coffee making facilities were quite suffice! Hope you enjoy your trip!


myLot reputation of 98/100. Scoop_Dogg (1932)  3 years ago

Hi humbug!

Mums usually come in singles, don't they? confused

I avoid the Travelodge like the plague! Noisy, poor service and carp food to say the least, but they are cheap. blink

I enjoyed my trip, but didn't have time to send a postcard.....Sorry! rasp

It depends on the purpose. If I am staying there as part of a family vacation I prefer the hotel to offer a free breakfast and have a pool. I also refuse to have my room anywhere near the laundry facilities or an ice machine.

But if I have to stay in a hotel for a night or two because of work or something non fun related I only need hot water and a soft mattress.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Scoop_Dogg (1932)  3 years ago

Hi Cyn,

I had both of those things you mentioned, and my stay was a pleasant one, for a business trip. I don't think I would take my family there because the facilities were pretty poor and I WAS above the kitchens, I think. confused

It would explain the apparent dropping of glasses during the night.....wouldn't it? blink
