Microwave/Fridge in room.

Good wi-fi.

Fast vans.

Sleepable beds.

And that's why I could never be on a hotel committee because if the hotel had those four things I would barely look at the other details.

Pet peeve of mine is when the housekeepers fold the pillow case into the pillow to make a tight little ball in an attempt to mask a pillow that needed to be replaced 4 years ago. If I unravel said pillow and am able to close my fist around it it is time for a new one.

I don't have enough long overnights at my regional to care about anything other than a comfy bed/pillows and some good internet. Downtown hotels are fantastic, but who cares when the overnight is only 12:30.

Yeah, I'll give you the pillow thing, and how tight the sheets are tucked in. That's more of a personal thing, though.

The wifi? Yeah, that's pretty frustrating. Fortunately I count one hand the number of times I have internet was practically not usable. Frequently it's not as fast as I would like but still at least minimally tolerable. Not nearly as big a deal as the power outlets.

Man, I've gotten so ****ed off over outlets I have to go have a smoke break before.

Lol, i would also like to see a universal standard for what side of the inside of the elevator the buttons are.

I bring a 4-way power strip and a 10ft extension cord.

I tend to undo the sheets and make a nest. Honestly, if it's clean I'm not too picky on sheets/pillows.

Power outlets near the bed is big. I also like the ability to set the temperature to artic.

Clean/working iron and ironing board is another big amenity. Finding out the last person made grilled cheese with the iron is nasty, doubly so if it's 6 AM and you started ironing half awake

Food/location is important. Our airline has a contract for microwave/fridge requirements so it's not too bad.

Van usually isn't a problem and if necessary we cab it and expense it to the company per contract.

I haven't seen too many poor workout rooms, but sometimes they are on the barely usable side. My airline doesn't have long layovers (too short on pilots), but if we did a decent pool/Jacuzzi would be nice. Outdoor pool is nice if the weather is good.

Free wifi that's decently fast. I like to stream music and play some light gaming online (not bandwidth/ping dependent). Poor signal is honestly the worse thing I typically see.

Had a 2am unsolicited visit with a lady of the night in SLC...still trying to decide if that was a perk or something negative. I politely declined however.
