I try not to be too snooty or particular when it comes to hotel rooms. I don’t need the best view or the fluffiest pillows or tons of room service options. I just need a functioning shower, a clean bed, and outlets to charge my electronic devices. Especially while traveling, I use up a ton of battery power each day on my phone, ipad, and camera. It is absolutely essential to recharge these each day, if not multiple times a day, to ensure that I don’t miss out on capturing a memory. So I was astounded when I walked into this Swiss hotel and found a SINGLE OUTLET for the entire room and bathroom. We had to MacGyver the situation a little bit by unplugging the TV (which was occupying 100% of the room’s electrical outlets, aka 1), and using several different splitters modge-podged together in order to charge our combined 6 devices.
Pro-tip: Bring splitters with you. Electricity is a commodity that at times must be shared.
