Cable TV and other hotel trends found in new survey
Offering satellite or cable TV has grown so much in the past decade that it’s an amenity in virtually every hotel, says the American Hotel & Lodging Association.
In its recent 2006 survey, considered the most comprehensive of its kind, also found these trends:
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.
