A NEW survey of business travellers reveals what we want most in a hotel, and—no surprise—it's a great location. The survey, by the Choice Hotels chain, found that 73% of business travellers value location when selecting a hotel, with room value and free Wi-Fi coming in second and third, at 61% and 55% respectively.
The trouble is that figuring out which hotels have the best location is a tough process. How do you determine where a good spot is in an unfamiliar city? If you are just travelling for one meeting, it probably pays to be close to it. But what if you have meetings all over town? Or if you don't fancy staying in the central business district, where establishments are often expensive and book up early?
