<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/FRAHiltonbldg.jpg" class="top"> Finally finally Frankfurt Airport has more hotels to offer than the Sheraton with the horrible internet situation. Both the Hilton Frankfurt Airport and Hilton Garden Inn Frankfurt Airport debuted yesterday, though this December opening date is a long delay from March, when they originally planned on polishing the door handles. Whatever. We're just happy we don't have to stay in that Sheraton again. So, what does the duo of Hiltons have to offer? First off, they're in a striking new building with an odd name the "Squaire." It's connected to the airport via walkways, but it's got far more going for it than that; this is a mega center with restaurants, shops, landscaped atriums andthe real clinchera

While our Flickr pool member BNilsen thought the dials were "useless" a rep from Hilton Garden Inn tells us that the dials just need some time to adjust to your body. <blockquote>When a guest turns the dial, it takes 2 ½ - 5 minutes for the bed to adjust, so you wont feel the change immediately. But, the pressure relief you feel on your hips will be felt. Plus, the bed will never be springyits not a spring mattress, so it will feel different. Essentially, it takes time for the

What are These 'Useless' Dials on The Beds at Hilton Garden Inn?

Yesterday as we were bemoaning the anti-view from the Hilton Garden Inn we noticed that Flickr member BNilsen also dropped in a shot of an interesting looking dial on the side of the bed. Ever curious, we skipped over to the Hilton Garden Inn website to find out more.

It turns out this dial is just one part of the Garden Sleep System that's installed in most every Hilton Garden Inn. The "revolutionary" bed is created from a system of something called air baffles along with oxymoronic-sounding flexible wooden slats. The bed is supposed to contour to your body by "displacing air based upon your weight and shape."

<![CDATA[ You know the scene. You open the door to your brand new hotel room, run over to the window, open the blinds and bam, you are hit with the anti-view. Maybe you are looking down a dirty alley, witnessing a drug deal, staring at an air shaft in the face, or seeing a brick wall. Whatever you are viewing it is not extremely pleasurable. Help out your fellow hotel mavens by uploading your anti-views to the <a href="http://flickr.com/groups/hotelchatter/">HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool</a>, or by <a href="mailto:tips@hotelchatter.com">sending the photo along to us</a>. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number with the not-so-easy-on-the-eyes view.<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/hiltongardeninn_aview.jpg" class="top">While the internet charges at Hilton Hotels vary in price, you can

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/affiniachicagobedlowrate.jpg" class="top"> We got this room at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2010/6/17/15813/3248/hotels/Inside_The_Affinia_Chicago">Affinia Chicago</a> for $159 a night. And we liked it! A new report released by J.D. Power & Associates says hotel guests are more satisfied this year with their hotel stays and hoteliers have reasonable room rates to thank for that. Because of the recession, hotels have had to drop room rates and as we've known here at HotelChatter for quite some time, when we get good deals on rooms, we're happier guests. Also thanks to the recession, hotels have had lower occupancy levels so more guests have gotten room upgrades at check-in. J.D. Powers' Mark Schwartz told the <a href="http://travel.latimes.com/daily-deal-blog/index.php/jd-power-study-guest-7293/">LA Times</a>: <blockquote>If occupancy is lower, we find satisfaction with
