Hotels.com reveals that free WiFi has been voted as the most important in-room amenity and third most desired when choosing a hotel.

The top 10 amenities chosen for the ideal hotel also included parking, smoke-free areas and coffee and tea available in the hotel lobby upon arrival.  At the other end of the scale were amenities voted least important, including child-friendly amenities, pet-friendly services and hair salons.
Conference centres and meeting rooms were also seen to be the least important amenities, even though over a third of respondents were business travellers. When asked for the most important amenity found inside the hotel room, although free WiFi came out on top, a bathroom with a shower and overall room size came in at second and third places, respectively.  Childcare in the room was voted least important.
