As someone who stays in hotels a fair bit either when traveling for work or holidays, there are so many things that’s annoying about them:-

Those fecky clothes hangers with no tops.
The thimble sized cups that only give you a mouthful of tea or coffee.
The low wattage lighting so you’re practically in the dark.
Hairdryers but no socket near a mirror.
Higher end hotels that provide no tea/coffee facilities so you have to ring room service.

Anybody have anything to add ?
 
I always take my own cup and coffee
I hate that there are never enough electrical sockets in anywhere useful
The hotel I stay in on holiday has a socket inside the wardrobe! What the hell use is that?
 
Never enough plug ins and they usually don't work all the time anyway.

Not enough lifts.

Beds are too hard for my back.
 
Only thing I get annoyed with his kids in the pool.
 
"Family friendly" hotels that have kids running up and down the halls, banging on doors, all hours of the night.
 
I have pretty much learned to deal with most issues, but my biggest peeves are:

Lack of outlets, particularly near the bed (I need my fan and CPAP)
Poor lighting
Heavy comforters and no regular blankets (especially king bed rooms)
Tissues in the bathroom and not at the desk
Hallway noise, and connecting room doors
Lack of a decent chair in some rooms
Lack of napkins
 
Bad furniture layout.

Lamps that have loose shades.

Damaged furniture.

Breakfast buffets.

Overpriced rooms.

Eco-friendly towel and linen policies that the cleaning crew ignores.

Hot hallways.

Ice machines in other wings.
 
Less than great housekeeping, especially finding the last occupant's trash in the bins, but I've seen far, far worse even in '5 Star' Hotels.

Lousy wi-fi, and an upcharge to get marginally better.

Mini-bars with unbelievably overpriced snacks :(

Towels the size of a postage stamp.

Lack of maintenance--loose toilet seats are #1 pet peeve--I've fixed them myself many times.

Low water pressure in the interest of saving the planet (although the Holiday Inns of the 80's were the WORST, I think that's over by now)
 
Thin walls so I can hear every conversation that is happening in the room next to mine. That and hearing people have sex, especially when its a woman involved. Not my thing.
 
I've assumed the lack of an outlet in the bathroom for use with a hairdryer was meant to avoid an electrocution if the hairdryer fell into a sink with water in it. I was recently in a hotel room in France with a bathroom outlet that was labeled to be used only with an electric razor.
 
The whores, their clients, and all the extra noise/commotion - indoors and outdoors.
 
Rooms where you can't control heating and cooling.
 
Long, perhaps even labyrinthian corridors leading to fire stairs. Fire stairs are one of the first things I check. I like to see fire sprinklers in rooms as well, particularly if the building is more than 2 stories high.

Before traveling to Tokyo a few years ago I checked out the structural reports of the 2 hotels we were considering staying in to get an idea of the seismic engineering. The 2 hotels occupied floors in relatively new high rise office towers, so the building owners were using seismic safety to attract tenants and lure them from older buildings.

Once escorting in San Francisco I was fucked to hell and back in a hotel room and in the morning found a note under the door from the guy in an adjacent room with a connecting door saying it was too bad we weren't all in a Falcon porno and he could join the action. He left his cell # and I got in touch and we fucked the next day.

While on the subject of hotels and sex, once I was in the middle of a 3-way with current and former boyfriends when a chambermaid unlocked the door and barged in without knocking. Could have been embarrased but thought it was pretty funny.
 
Everyone has hit most of my beefs.

I also hate the 'fresheners' that hotel cleaning staff use....particularly when the windows are sealed in a high-rise.

I now request a scent free room or ask the hotel cleaning staff not to make up the room if I am there for more than a day.
 
Great comments - just a couple of things to add:
1. Resort fees charged at the hotel when having prepaid
2. Lightbulbs that are blown - I'm not quality control!

Very much with you Cormac on higher end hotels that provide no tea/coffee facilities so you have to ring room service.
 
Lack of outlets
No Microwave oven
Hearing the people next door
Stained up tub
