It blows my mind that sockets on the nightstand aren’t standard by now.

I just stayed at the Westin in Rome, supposedly a 5 star place, but I don’t think it’s been updated in 30 years. I had to move the nightstand and unplug a lamp, so I could plug my phone in next to the bed. So go get my phone socket I had to lose the lamp. It didn’t even have an alarm clock on the nightstand; there would have been nowhere to plug it in. Maybe they expect everyone to get a wake up call, but the phone was across the room too.

I used to travel with a little power strip, but stopped since I never actually used it. That place needed one badly.

It did have bathroom door though, so it had that going for it.

Nobody comes and takes your stars away. They earned them once and they're still using them.

For a wakeup call, that's an advantage.
