Five Stars

I have stayed in many hotels over the years, some 5 star some 2 star. Everyone rates hotels differently. Some look for fancy rooms, others large pools, some want top restaurants, while others look for the Spa. I know someone who likes hotels that draws a bath for them every evening.  According to the Forbes Hotel ratings the following is usually required to be a 5 star hotel:

• Staff is extremely well spoken and polite.
• Amenities include complimentary newspaper, a welcome gift, 24 hour room service and turndown service. Drawn bath not required, but would be nice.
• At least two types of premium quality snacks are offered during bar and lounge service.
• Guest rooms should be clean and inviting. Nothing worn or broken. Bed should be inviting with numerous overstuffed pillows and high-quality linens.

For me it all comes down to the shower. Is there power? I need a powerful shower, like the Commando 450. I hate wimpy showers where you need to search for the best stream. You can keep the spa, the snacks, and even the over stuffed pillows as long as you give me a great shower. Although a drawn bath does sound inviting.
