I will add - do not tell me "our restaurant XYZ is realy great." I know there is a restaurant in the hotel, and I'm sure it is very good, but I do not want to eat there three times a day.
I love hotel concierges who will actually suggest other places, and make the reservations for you. Very few hotels have restaurants better than the non-hotel restaurants around them. That said, some of my all-time favorite restaurants are located in hotels--but not chain hotels and they are the exception to the rule.
I travel for work often and having a modern hotel room is so important.
And by modern I mean having a working elevator.... free wifi in the rooms with a strong signal... Having a clean comfy bed with more than 2 pillows. A working TV with some main TV chanels like CNN, NBC, E, Bravo, HBO, etc.... nothing too extensive. Having a bathroom with a decent water pressure in the shower. Proper heating and cooling/climate control. .
and that's really it.
I don't need a fancy lobby (who cares, I dont just sit in lobbys to hang out).. I dont need a bar or restaurant in the hotel, tho if the hotel is in an isolated area it's nice to have somewhere to go sit down and eat
Oh--another huge thing for me--I prefer a shower door. If it's a curtain, one on a rounded rod so it doesn't cling to me. That's just gross. Actually I prefer a large shower, I don't need a tub unless I'm at a luxe resort where I might want to take a bubble bath. I have a jetted soaking tub at home that I barely use, I'm not going to use one while traveling on business.

I like to have a bar--even a smaller one with only a few seats--so I can grab a nightcap to nurse while I work on responding to email.

Only if it's a full-sized shower door, not the ones that show up in Europe in some places that only go back half the length of the tub, and make it way too easy to get a big pile of water on the floor that will overwhelm any standard bath mat.

I never have a problem with those. In fact at home I seldom close my shower door (It's a 2-pc slider).

I have one like that and never get the floor wet.
