Holiday Inn’s New “Bed Warming” Service Makes Us Scratch Our Heads.

Posted on January 21, 2010 with 8 Comments

Holiday Inn has announced that they are rolling out a new service in London and Manchester. The service?

Bed warmers.

Holiday Inn will send employees to your room before you get there to warm the bed up for you. This may seem a bit odd. The hotel chain says that it is easier to get to sleep when you are in a warm bed.

This is a problem. Hotel workers lying in customer beds before they come in will create a perfect environment to spread bed bugs. There is already a widespread problem in hotel rooms with spreading bed bugs. This service should be immediately discontinued, if the hotel chain wants to warm beds for customers they should install something in the bed that would automatically do the heating.
