Tell me about your pillows!

@jon-nyc said in Tell me about your pillows!:
You can prevent that by staying at cheaper hotels.
That's actually better advice than you think.
I'm not very interested in most of what more money gets you at hotels. I don't need a big room or even multiple rooms. I don't need a big bed, especially not with six thousand pillows. I don't give a damn about their breakfast or room service. I don't want a TV, a bathtub, a minibar, or a fucking trousers press. I've never used a hotel pool, massage facilities, office facilities etc.
A 10 sqm room with a 90x200cm bed with a decent mattress, a single chair with a small table, a shower, decent WLAN, clean and not too noisy, modern design. That's really all I want.
I know one hotel chain that comes somewhat close to my requirements, namely Ibis, but they are only widely available in France.

a fucking trousers press.
In English, we don't refer to them as fucking trousers, we call them short shorts.

You are all SO picky.
When I think of the dives that I've stayed in. . .
Faucet works, toilet flushes. My minimum standards. -

The best bed I ever had was on a Klingon Bird of Prey.

And the Larry Hotel definitely doesn’t splurge on the pillows.

I resent that misappropriation of my name.
