Since we spend a good majority of the year living in hotel rooms across the world–we think we’ve nailed what a hotel should offer in every room. So if we ran a hotel here are some of the things you’d find in Hotel ‘le J&K 
(In no particular order)
1. Huge elevators with NO mirrors. We don’t want any of these elevators that are big enough to fit 3 Victoria’s Secret models and their puppies. And who wants to see themselves jet-lagged and sweaty from lugging your bags around? maybe VS models, but not us…therefore, no mirrors.
2. Electrical outlets on or right next to the nightstand. This one is crucial. You want to have your phone charging next to you while you sleep. What if you wake up at 4am and want to see who’s called or texted you in the middle of the night? And since it’s almost 2010, everyone has their alarm clock on their phones and it might be the WORST thing ever to have your alarm blaring on the other side of the room and actually have to get out of bed to turn it off…I mean…talk about waking up on the wrong side of the bed. Plugs, people. Outlets. Got it?
3. Loofah’s in the shower. Here’s why. If you travel a considerable amount you’ll realize that traveling with your own loofah is difficult. You can never get them completely dry so when you try and pack them, they start to get smelly…thus totally loosing their appeal or usability. And if you are reading this and don’t know what the heck we are talking about, please see the picture below
4. 24 hour kick-A room service. We’re talking normal food that you can get at home that are straight up comfort foods. Popcorn, grilled cheese, pizza, Kraft mac&cheese…(the blue box please)…cookies…yup. We’d have it all. And we’d serve breakfast all day…because most times french toast tastes best between the hours of 11pm and 3am. It’s a fact.
5. Direct TV…because, why not?!
6. Shower doors made of glass. Curtains are out. Glass is in.
7. Black-Out Curtains that allow not even the slightest crack of sunshine in. Because sometimes you want to sleep until 1pm. What? There’s nothing wrong with that!
8. Do Not Disturb BUTTONS…not a sign you hang on the door, but a button that lights up a little “Do Not Disturb” sign outside your door. Sometimes certain people play pranks on you and take the Do Not Disturb signs off your door so that Housekeeping comes and wakes you up at 8am. When it’s a button, no one can take it.
I am pretty much dead when I sleep, so the chances of me waking up to check messages at 4 am is very very slim, lol…but I totally get the alarm clock thing, since it takes a lot for me to wake up I usually set 4 alarms, 3 on my phone and 1 on the regular alarm clock, so an outlet close to the bed is a necessity, because if my phone dies and those alarms don’t go off, I will miss class and that is not good, haha
But lol at the do not disturb sign removal…I went to Chicago with my friends earlier this year and that happened to the room I was in….very awkward when housekeeping came in while we were all half asleep lounging around in our pjs.
-i have never seen a do not disturb button. that is a brilliant idea.
-i want some black out curtains in my bedroom. i hate when you get a chance to sleep in and the sun comes in at like 6am. i feel like it mocks me. last summer i went on vacation and my friend and i got the bedroom in the suite with no windows. it was a cave and amazing for sleeping.
-don’t feel bad about sleeping in, i slept until 11;30 today and do it whenever i can. winter break starts wednesday and sleeping is my main plan.
-i hate the elevators with mirrors. it’s like really? why would anyone want to stare at themselves while riding up and down in the elevator. thanks hotel, for reminding me how disgusting and crappy i look.
-i hate packing wet loofas. it’s the worst. everything always gets wet and slimy.
-who decides that it would be a good idea to put the outlets across the room? it’s on purpose to make our lives more difficult. obviously it’s a conspiracy.
-comfort food in room service is a must. especially after you’ve been out drinking and it seems like a good idea to order pizza at 3 am. note to all others; do not do this. it might seem like a good idea at the time, but you will regret it in the morning.
loving the blogging ladies!!!
-i agree about the loofahs. i mean, they aren’t that expensive, but it’s a pain having to buy them over and over again.
-i hate when hotels charge like 10 dollars for a freaking grilled cheese. really?
-the shower in my bathroom never works, ever. and it happens to have a curtain, so i never use it. i only use my parent’s shower, always have. and there is a glass door, so it’s perfect. i hate going to hotels with shower curtains and the shower in the bathtub. the water gets all over the place, including the floor. it gets all messy and gah, i’m getting annoyed thinking about it! glass for the win.
ha i’d love if you guys actually opened a hotel.
Haha all of these ideas are GENIUS! Now if you ladies could make this happen, you’d be owners of the most popular hotel in the world, no joke
Loving the everyday blogs! It always makes my day to read your random thoughts and ideas.
Have a fabulous day girls
Omg. I have been in and out of hotels for the past like…two, three weeks and that is all so true. I had a frustration with the maids and the curtains almost every night.
Oh and one more thing…make the doors thicker! I don’t want to hear you and your buddy exchaning cooking advice at 6:45 in when my friends and I didn’t get to sleep til 3 am. Lol
6:45 in the morning.
*finish your sentences, melissa.*
Oh, I hate shower curtains too…at home I have a glass door on my shower and it’s completely sealed so we could put a steam shower option in there (which is SO nice when you’re sick, let me tell you…not to mention it’s wonderful for the skin). The only annoying thing about glass is having to squeegee it after every shower, which I guess you don’t HAVE to do, but it stays cleaner for longer if you do, lol (which doesn’t matter if you’re in a hotel I guess, but still)
Nice. Don’t know about the loofah thing though. How do you know no one has used it before you? What if some guy with a hairy ass chest and zits all on his back used it before you? SICK. They’d have to be packaged I suppose. Alright well now that i’m pretty sure i made everyone throw up, i’m just going to agree with the rest and say this was a wonderful blog
Ha! This is very helpful seeing as how I am currently researching hotels for my January vacation! I’m going to inquire about loofah policies and shower curtain status before booking anything. And the Do Not Disturb button is brilliant. Patent that one quick!
THis is what I would like to see in a hotel
1) loofahs, for the reason you stated above
2) a red box dispenser in the lobby, or hell every room
3) toothpaste (the gel kind), toothbrushes (tooth tunes, the miley cyrus one), and floss…
enjoying the blogs : )
Very smart. Do it. I’ll stay there and enjoy my (blue box) mac n cheese. totally. You’d live in a world of “thank you” notes.
I will be in Corpus for yall staying at a cheap Knight’s Inn. I am doubting the luxuries above. I will also be leaving my loofah here though I did consider for awhile if I could manage to tote it around, sopping wet. No. I will be driving a bucket of bolts car with a broken window and the trunk (literally) roped shut. If you see it in the parking lot, send up a great Huzzah! that I (presumably) made it there safely (from Austin). lol
Y’all should have your own meet n greet sign up. I’d be in the Kelly line…then step over to the J&K line because you both are crazy talented and cool. Get up with the M&G.
Ok you have my money, I’d love to stay at hotel j&k
- For a person who’s already scared of elevators, the mirror makes it 10x more scarier. So awesome idea.
- I’m glad I’m not the only person who sleeps till 1pm.
– Hotels always try to make foods fancy, like Mac N Cheese with three cheese and bow tie pasta and a sprig of parsley or Pizza with some weird crap on it. Sometimes you got to just serve the basics to make people happy.
– The do not disturb button reminds of the easy button. Both I wish existed
–TOTALLY agree with the shower curtain thing. I mean sometimes the curtains are hard to clean. i dont know if they have changeable ones. but for the sake of the guest and the maid. I think glass would be better.
–I can’t really relate to the electrical plug by the nightstand thing because I have one by my bed already. But I’m sure it’s a lifesaver for alot of people
My friend has the easy button! lol…if only it worked for real though…all it does is say “that was easy!”….it lies.
And don’t diss the 3 cheese mac n cheese, that’s my favorite kind!
…it’s still Kraft though lol
The Do Not Disturb BUTTON is brilliant. That should be instated immediately!
I would definitely stay at Hotel ‘le J&K
I am with you !! I think the whole damn door should light up ( on the outside of course ) and if you touch it you get jolted.. well I just got outbid on my Mr. potato head lot on ebay so I have to fly..nice job ladies.. I would stay at your establishment..
Totally agree about the plug thing! The last time I stayed in a hotel the outlet was away from my bed so I decided to not charge my phone (which was already on red) and not set my alarm and cross my fingers I woke up before checkout.
And another thing I hate is those iPod decks– okay well I love those– but when the person before you has the alarm set and you don’t realize it’s set until it’s blaring in your ear at 7am the next morning. Not fun.
Sounds awesomeee!!! I totally agree with everything!
You should try a loofah like this one:
They dry much faster.
Black-out curtains are a must! They would be even cooler if they were remote-powered like in The Proposal!
I also think you should allow pets. Then it would be perfecto!
Sorry, the picture of the loofah didn’t post!

Carol, those loofahs hurt! Exfoliation..not shredding of the skin.
Oooh, this is very intresting! One of my goals in life is to open an hotel in New York, and I promise to make sure that all of these things will be apart of it! Just wait 5? years and your wishes will have become reality!
I’ve stayed in hotels overseas with Do Not Disturb Buttons, Greatest Idea EVER!!! Not only does housekkeping leave you alone the door bell doesn’t ring and they phone won’t ring either – Goes straight to voice mail.
Loving the blogs, keep it up!!
so the Do Not Disturb button is completely Bad Ass. I think you should pitch that idea to every hotel you stay at. Seriously a light up button that keeps people from bothering? I’m all for that. Why haven’t people thought of that sooner?
See, but the mirrors in the elevator can come in handy when you’re going out for the night, and want to triple check yourself! Haha.
Other than that, Hotel J&K sounds pretty ballin’. You two hit it square on the head! Love it.
Wow, sounds like you ladies really have it figured out.
Awesome amenities at Hotel J&K!
I thoroughly enjoyed that. I’m looking forward to what you will fix about airports next because they are the bane of my existence.
1. Totally agree! The huge elevators thing especially! The last hotel I stayed in was when I was taking my Girl Guide Group to London we had 27 girls and a tinsy tiny lift! We couldn’t split the leaders enough between the girls and couldn’t let them go up on their own and didn’t have the time to wait for each group to go up (would have took around 8 lift journeys!) So had to make them all go up either 4 or 5 floors up with bags! Baring in mind they had all been awake since around 6.30am, it was now 3pm and they had been wandering around London with their bags for hours too! Awful! We could fit at max 4 people in that little lift without bags!
2. I have been in a few hotels that have this and it’s sooooo handy! Aswell as a light switch by your bedstand to turn off the main lights rather than getting up to go to the door. Yeah I’m lazy haha!
3.As long as they were replaced everytime…because sometimes just cleaning those doesn’t do the job they get grubby overtime no matter how much you clean them….so I’d freak out thinking that they weren’t clean lol.
[skipping some!]
6. So true on the shower thing, curtains are just blah! plus no matter how hard you try you manage to get water everywhere! I had GirlGuides panicking because they managed to flood their bathrooms in the morning, sooooo frustrating!
8.Agreeeed! Someone did that to me and my friends when we stayed in a hotel after my friends 21st……so mean since we were all very very very hungover!!! I was not a happy chappy! The buttons would be so much better.
Such a long comment sorry haha but yeah I agree on most of the things you both said haha
I also spend considerable amounts of time in hotels, and ladies with these points, I will be a perminant guest at casa de j&k!!!!
8 is pretty funny tbh, sorry i can just imagine that :L ahaa.
andddd i find loofah’s reallyyy hurt. i always use sponges. but still , i get ya. seeing as i like never get to use a hotel, whenever i take a sponge for a sleepover for like 5 days, they do start getting all wet & smelly haha.
i’d very much like to stay in Hotel Le J&K
when’s the opening ? 
aha.
xxxxxx
“Kraft mac&cheese…(the blue box please)…”
Pretty sure you meant to add SPIRALS in the ( )’s!
because SPIRALS are the best! And I seriously think they are cheesier! Just sayin’
1) Yes
2)Yes
3)Yes
4)Yes
5)Yes
6)Yes
7)Yes
8)Yes!
Please start your own branch of hotels across the world.
loved the list. (“,)
But the only thing i would add into it would be having bigger and better pillows. Everytime i stay in a hotel im always given a flimsy pillow, which means i have to actually fold the pillow in half all the time. So not what i want to do when ive just got of a plane.
Loving the blogs!
Wow that sounds good
.
I want to stay in your hotel
Outlets by the bed are a must. I get so frustrated when I’m somewhere and the outlet isn’t near by. Not only is it a problem to have to get up and turn off the alarm, haha, but there’s also a chance of not hearing it, and instead waking up whoever else might be in the room.
Loofahs? 100% agreed.
You miss one little point. Better water pressure. I HATE showering in hotels because of that. I end up taking over half hour showers and still don’t feel fully clean.
where can i find this hotel??!
you guys have just made me LOL, i so agree with most of them.
The blacked out curtains is a must, who the hell wants to get up early hours of the day when they dont have to, come on now haha.
Thanks for making me laugh! xx
As I read this post I found myself wishing I was staying at Hotel Jill and Kate instead of the one I’m staying in right now. I’m currently out of town on bussiness and without naming names (pssss it’s a Wyndham Hotel in Austin) I find it lacks on various aspects; their tv has 25 channels, trust me I counted them and half of them are either news or sports channels. I love my sports but how many ESPN channels do you actually need. Their wireless is as slow as molases and they have no snacks available. Among other things. So, I will gladly be your first guest, please book me a room. If I can make a suggestion, comfortable beds, it’s a must.
By the way I was at the Beaumont show on Saturday, y’all had a great show. Loved you guys dancing.
Awesome post, I totally agree with all of your points
The only problem I have with the list is the ‘loofahs in the shower’.
They would have to be BRAND NEW everytime…and in packaging…like the little soaps. NO REUSE. NONE! I don’t care how good those industrial washers are.
I don’t know what Direct TV is, but Sky would be pretty awesome.
sounds amazing can i come stay ?
I LOL’d pretty hard at #8. I must say that’s a pretty neat list ladies. I’d for sure stay at Hotel ‘le J&K
love it!
and the do not disturb buttons are so cool. most hotels in london have them now and they are so much better… the raddison in london had the switch beside ur bed so if you forgot to press it, then you didnt even need to get out of bed to do it!
plugs by the bed is also a must…. most hotels dont and it makes me angry!
ooo and a safe, some hotels dont even have a saftey diposit box in the room, another must i should think!
