At two expensive hotels at which we have stayed recently, the king-sized beds were made with queen-sized blankets. Neither hotel could find a king-sized blanket the first night, and one never did. We had to make do with overlapping two small blankets.

This is from USA Today article on Opulence in Hotels:

"Many a luxury lodging offers pillow menus (Chicago's Conrad has six on call, including a pregnancy pillow). But it's hard to beat the Rome Cavalieri Hilton's options: 15 soaps (including "Lavandula Fiore" — lavender with "the Old World freshness of clean linen"), 22 bottled waters, nine salts, 35 teas, 14 coffees and six types of balsamic vinegar." Sheesh...and I just wanted a magnifying mirror and corkscrew!

1. Nightstands on both sides of the bed, with good reading lamps on each.
2. Better lighting in the bathroom for putting on makeup.
3. Love those desk lamps that have two outlets in the base so I can plug in both my laptop and cellphone. Should be standard in every room.
4. Too many bathrooms still don't have grab bars in the right place for safe exit from the tub/shower.
