Ø Voice mail also continues to be a common amenity, with 86%of hotels offering it. All luxury hotels have it.
Ø While half of hotels offered high-speed internet in 2004, it is now found in almost 90% of facilities.
Ø The fastest growing in-room amenity: wireless internet access.
Ø Upgraded bedding was surveyed for the first time this year, with more than two-thirds of hotels indicating they had upgraded.
Ø Branded bathroom amenity products are popular for all hotels, at least in the past year.
