I was at BLT a few days ago and I very much missed having a clock. I left BCV today to go home and was very happy the clock was still there (for now). I definitely glance often at the clock rather than take an iPhone out of a purse or wherever I left it.
But it would be nice if they actually put the charging stay in thing in when they took the clocks out.
Possibly true but even without the charging access, most people still travel with a smart phone and most of those will have a way to charge it on the nightstand. I travel with a travel surge protector that has 2 outlets and 2 USB ports. It will even charge an iPad though it does it slowly like when hooked up to a computer USB. Most don't use them, most of them don't work correctly and it's really an unnecessary expense/aggravation at this point. I think removing them completely is the best way but keeping the remaining ones for request items is the way to go. But like regular cribs, they may not have them for a given person when they call.
I do and not an apple watch but many don't, esp younger generations. But I still travel with a travel router as well, I've used it on about 3 or 4 trips in the last year. I prefer it over wifi because it's more secure and more reliable.
Yes I wear a watch. I keep my phone in my purse so it's a multi-step process to unzip the purse, pull out the phone and open the protective cover just to check the time.
Just a question: Does anyone wear a wristwatch any longer? Or have wristwatches gone the way of film cameras? If knowing the exact time is so important said:I wear a wrist watch every day, but not at night. At night I have a clock on my nightstand. I'm not of the "cell phone rooted to palm" generation, so my cell is usually in my purse or dead.
It's not that I need to know the exact time, but as I get older, I wake up in the middle of the night and I like to know if its 4:30 or 6:30. My wrist watch has a lighted dial, but reading it involves putting on glasses. Just an aging thing I guess. I really don't think a clock in the room is a luxury item, I've never been in a hotel room without a clock. Guess that's one more thing for my suitcase.
Yes, I wear a watch both day and night. Apparently it's very useful because other people will occasionally ask me for the time. I also prefer to have a clock in a hotel room, as my phone is usually in my purse.
People will adjust and IMO, it's a minor adjustment once you know. I wonder what the % of clocks in timeshares and hotel rooms are actually reasonably correct and what % have alarms set that go off unplanned. My guess is that the % that have reasonably correct time and no alarm set unplanned is under 50%. So for those that are insistent on them, I'd assume they go in, check the time and check to be sure there is no alarm set.
