So currently, I'm working on Faux marble table, eating an over priced club sandwich after a £10 for wi-fi access, in the Stansted Hilton.
I can't work out I just expected more from a brand Hilton, free internet access would be one £11 for a club sandwich is when it starts taking the piss. As I look around this hotel California, it all just feels a little soulless. Soulless and over priced which is even worse.
Its made think, if I was designing a hotel what would want it, how would I liked it to work. Free wi-fi access has to be the first thing that needs to be available hotel wide. If such excellent places as Urban Coffee Co can do it, why must companies like Hilton charge crazy prices for it? Free on demand films in the rooms. Co working areas with printers. Food or at least a 24hour food place within the hotel or at least that's not overpriced.
Can I be the only one who thinks that this?
Welcome to the world of hotels.
Sandwiches are £10 plus, burgers £20, steaks £30.
Wine, glass £9
WiFi. £70 for a week.
Absolutely amazing, but certain hotels cater for business people; and they know the business (or client) will be paying – not the actual guest.
There are good hotels for ‘non-business’ people; if you seek out the boutique. Yet none of these are onsite at airports!
Unfair, but makes commercial sense!
I know I think I was very grumbly when I wrote this
