The Thing About Hotels

What is it about hotels? What is it that makes me just on this side of giddy when I'm in one?

• Is it crisp fresh sheets?


• Is it a pile of towels all for little ol' me?


• Is it an endless supply of ice - and never having to fill the cube trays?


• Is it wake up calls instead of my cranky alarm?


• Is it indoor swimming pools like all the homes featured on E!?


• Is it freezing cold climate control that won't show up on my Consumers bill?


• Is it room service?


• Is it free coffee in the lobby?


• Is all the travel-sized stuff? (It's just so tiny and cute!)

I don't know what the thing about hotels is, except to say that I'm staying in one this week and I'm not just a little bit giddy about it.
