Simple pleasures
One of the banes of my existence when I travel is the coffee that they provide to you in the room. Even though it's a nice luxury to be able to brew yourself a cup or two before you have to leave in the morning, the result inevitably tastes like dishwater, thanks in part to the vile powdered creamer you have to use to lighten it.
Well, this is the first Westin I've stayed in in a while -- probably since the *last* time I stayed at this Westin, which I think was two years ago -- and they've figured out a way around that. First of all they've replaced the coffee makers with one of those one-cup brewers. Second, they use Starbucks' coffee (hey, I'd rather have Dunkins', but beggars can't be choosers). Third, they actually include shelf-safe liquid half-and-half to lighten the brew.
I know it's silly, but it's the difference between having to bite back something awful-tasting to help wake up, and having a better than half-decent cup of coffee.
