Bitching about hotels [View all]

Why is it that corporate bookers ALWAYS put me in 'fancy' big name hotels with no refrigerator or microwave?

I would rather have a 'lesser' hotel with a way to keep a soda cold and reheat by leftovers from the restaurant.

Seriously, this hotel is literally more than double what I paid for a hotel one mile away that had breakfast included with a fridge for my caffeine fix and a microwave.

Not fiscally responsible with the department budget and not what I want. I wish they would always let me book for myself. I would get what I want and save the company hundreds of dollars on a 3 day stay.
