I think it's important however to single out smaller hotels as different dynamics for some of these trends. The automation, for instance: small, boutique hotels have a huge advantage in that they can afford to respond more intimately to inquiries: their charm (much like their ambiance) is personal and non-mechanic. One other trend I'd add to the list is reliance on review sites like Trip Advisor. More and more, TA is becoming the gold standard in online hotel reputation: not #1 on TA? You're not #1 at all. Kinda sad but true. Great piece. I think it’s important however to single out smaller hotels as different dynamics for some of these trends.

Travelers love access to bikes, assuming the location is conducive. One obstacle will be that some hoteliers would worry about liability - we're really good at that. But it's a healthy, "green" option, and you should do well. Best of success to you! Hi Bob, Opus has had complimentary bikes for guests for several years now and they’re a huge hit.
