6 hotels from tanks disappearing trends for new rates

Here are some details on the hotel's six trends in the industry struggling right now, and how they affect your stay.

Increased fees: Your hotel bill may include a few surprises. Not only the usual $ 20 per day resort and residential fee that you pay whether you use the tennis courts and swimming pool complex, but what about the required $ 12 extra a household or a fee for storing luggage in the lobby?

Hilton New home2 Suites extended stay brand developed its lobby with an eye on attracting business travelers from their rooms. Tables and colorful sofas offer a place for informal meetings, as well as areas where anyone can plop down with laptop and drink, rather than sitting alone in a room watching TV.

So if you're traveling with a baby who is going to need a bath before bedtime, call ahead to make sure your room has a bath.

Pump dispensers: metering pumps, the appearance of the hotel bathrooms are good and bad news for those guests who possessed a tiny bottle of shampoo and soap in individual packaging, which were a favorite comfort for decades.

The good news: If you need more shampoo than what might be just half an ounce in those little plastic containers, you can pump as much as you want from the package. No more fighting with my roommate for that tiny bottle or running at the front desk before 6 am a shower to get another one.

You may also feel green if you use the pump. No more plastic throwaways adding to the waste stream.
