Lifehacker.com is one of my favorite websites. Sometimes it’s a bit of overload because they publish so many articles but it’s still worth perusing everyday to see what sort of tips and tricks they find for making life a little smoother or a little more productive.
Today, via the NYT, Lifehacker published a piece of advise that will be familiar to any PMP or Consultant who’s traveled for a living.
Joe Sharkey on the New York Times offers a workaround to this insanity: head to a hotel that caters to business travelers:
Across the industry, midlevel hotels with strong bases in business travel provide a range of services without any extra charge — from free Internet and business-center access to free breakfasts and in some cases even a free evening cocktail hour with snacks. I will enthusiastically stay when it’s feasible at one of these brands, whether a Hampton Inn or Garden Inn, a Country Inns and Suites, a Marriott Residence — to name just a few in that market niche.
I’ve spent so much time in my life staying at places like Hampton or Marriott that I rarely even think of them as a business hotels. Marriott is just one of the best options, period.
Does the Mirage in Las Vegas count as a business hotel?
