You know how most hotels have in-house music channels, where when you arrive in your room the TV is playing music and has your name on the screen to welcome you and give you some info about the hotel?
Well, there’s nothing quite like checking into a hotel where rooms retail for $500+ per night, only to find they’re playing Music Choice with this ad:
Just hoping this wasn’t a targeted ad!
I’ve written in the past about American Express Fine Hotels & Resorts and Virtuoso, both of which are programs that offer additional benefits to guests at luxury hotels. These benefits usually include free breakfast, a room upgrade based on…

The TWA Hotel JFK opened this spring, and is a dream come true for any aviation geek.Ā I reviewed my mixed experience at the TWA Hotel. While the soft product leaves a bit to be desired, I was so blown away by the attention to detail in design. This hotel…

Yesterday I wrote about how Hyatt will be eliminating single-use toiletries globally in the coming months, following the lead of IHG and Marriott. This topic is incredibly controversial. Personally it's a topic on which I've evolved, and I'm in favor…
Over the summer we saw both IHG and Marriott announce that they're eliminating single-use toiletries from their hotels. Both companies plan to switch to reusable bottles by 2021. I predicted other hotel groups would follow soon enough, and now Hyatt…

There are luxury hotels, and then there's North Island, Seychelles. In February I first wrote about how this hotel would become a Marriott Luxury Collection property, and that has now happened. Before we get into the details of that, first a bit of background...…
Why now, that’s just going to “piss off” their best customers. š
ROTFL
that sounds like a good deal!
Is that the welcome amenity?
COOL! Now you never have to leave bed!
Do you get any points/miles if we click on the ad?
One more reason I dislike this practice. Staying at the MGM for the Hyatt gig this past weekend was nice, but every time I came back to my room someone had been in there with turndown service or something and the TV was on again. I eventually hid the remote.
Scottrick,
Do not disturb sign?!?
Lol were you staying in Florida?!
Yes, it probably was a targeted ad. Not too many 24 year olds staying in $500 a night hotels.
I had to pony up for the Pandora paid subscription because, due to my location and music choices, the only ad they found to play for me (over and over) was for the Jewish Home for the Aged.
They must think the “Light Classical” channel is listened to by a certain demographic!
My cable system at home has the Music Choice channels, and the Solid Gold Oldies station ads target the same demographic as the Light Classical station.
