Hotel Bed Wars Update

Is it because you might find yourself lying on a mattress of unknown age that probably has had more sexual experiences than you ever will? Is it because you can hear the nasal tone of infomercials from the neighbors TV? Is it that you just can't sleep in hotels?

Hotels are currently battling a variety of non-industry related factors: high prices, the weather, gas prices, and insomnia.

Regarding the later, hotels continue to come up with new comfort and gimmicks that soon become industry standard. Who are the leaders of the pack.

Westin Hotels:
The leader of the pack. If you haven't heard of their heavenly mattresses, then you aren't traveling. They are now boasting an impressive all-white pillow top mattress cover, 3 sheets (!), comforter, duvet, and 5 pillows. If that sentence didn't put you to sleep, try the real thing.

Crowne Plaza:
A comparably bedding combo to the Westin (offering 7 pillows, and 2 sheets). Each Crowne offers at least one floor for those weary travelers who can't deal with wasted vacationers or kids. If they don't call with your wake up call, you get your money back.

As with other hotels, the Crowne also offers a sleep pack which includes everything from ear plugs, to sleep enhancing CD.

Seems like the hotel industry is really curtailing any and all sleep problems...maybe they will come up with an effective solution for snoring.
