The Editor said that she liked Duvets in hotels. Most of the people that I know hate them. They are too, too hot. It makes sleeping very difficult unless you turn the thermostat way, way down and freeze the room. We take them off when we are traveling if there is a blanket in the closet or can get a blanket from housekeeping.

Another gripe about hotel rooms. Only one chair in a room for two people. We usually travel as a couple and both like to sit down and read (no reading lamp) or watch TV. There often is only one chair. What does the other person do? Stand up?
