To help you prepare for some of the worst that can happen during your executive travel experience, we’ve compiled a list of some travel miseries that must be avoided at all costs.

Your Hotel Room is a Flop

We can mean many things by calling your hotel room a “flop”; this could mean that your room has an unsavory location in the hotel, such as near the elevators or by the ice machine. It could also mean that your room is dirty, your bed is uncomfortable, the hotel’s staff is rude and unaccommodating or that the general atmosphere of the place is unsuited to your work load.
You have to remember that your hotel is the place where you will get the sleep that is vital to your productivity. Your hotel is also the place where you’ll get extra work done, prep for a presentation, contact colleagues and unwind after a long day.
You can never do enough research when it comes to the hotel you choose for your corporate trip. Know which hotel chain or single hotel has the most comfortable beds and the amenities that you need to be optimally productive while also enjoying the comforts you deserve.
