Way back in 2007, we declared the iPod docking station to be the "Must Have Amenity" of that year. From then on, we've rarely ever seen a hotel that didn't have such a device. Sure, the brands were different and some worked better than others but there was always an output for our MP3 players so that we could always have personal soundtrack with us.

But a friend told us last night that during his stay last week at The Hay-Adams Hotel in Washington, DC, there wasn't an iPod docking device, much to his disappointment.

The hotel does have a Bose CD player but let's be real, who carries CDs with them anymore? Still, before we get all indignant on the hotel for their lack of iPod hookups, we have to point out that the Hay-Adams does have free WiFi and you know how much we love that.

Have you stayed at a hotel recently that didn't have an iPod or MP3 docking station? Were you pissed about it or did you not even care? Tell us your strongest convictions on this very serious topic in comments below.

iPod Docking Station

I stayed at the Park Hyatt Sydney last month - and rang the front desk to ask for one to be sent up (as they didn't have one in the room). They said they only had one, and another guest was using it. Not very good for a hotel where the standard rate is 500USD+ a night!!

Hiltons

Either I stay at bad Hilton hotels, or they are behind the times, because they never seem to have them in the room; however, I have yet to specifically ask for one, so maybe I am to blame.

It's a bummer because I always forget my charger.
