Most Important Hotel Amenities
TripAdvisor has announced the results of its first-ever 360 degree survey, which reveals U.S. lodging trends according to those who know them best: travelers and hospitality business owners and managers. Surveys of more than 1,000 U.S. travelers and more than 600 U.S. hotel representatives found that Wi-Fi Internet access and breakfast are king, while a turndown service offers very little value. Of the travelers surveyed, 54% said they have canceled a lodging reservation because they found better amenities at a different property.
