We're traveling now (in the US) and just came back from our "free" hotel breakfast. You could starve to death. We're at a Hilton but the only thing worth eating was the rather haggard looking "fresh" fruit. And everything is disposable - another word for "permanent".
By contrast, I remember our France/Belgium trip where the food was absolutely wonderful. The hot food was hot and the fresh food was fresh. Real china dishes and, being vegetarian didn't mean going hungry.
We were remembering a Marriott where we stayed in Tucson. I got out of the shower, walked out into the room and then back to the bathroom. Looked down and saw dirty footprints on the towel/mat. At first I thought my feet were filthy but no - I had picked up that filth when I walked onto the carpet with wet feet. Now I never go barefoot in a hotel because I figure everyone else before me has gone barefoot there.
What's your best/worst or just pet peeves you have when traveling?
