The survey, conducted in July
2015, asked over 5,000 Agoda.com customers from around the
world which amenities they want in hotel rooms.
When asked which they'd rather have for free, travelers prefer
Wi-Fi over breakfast, but barely. Wi-Fi got 55% of the vote and
breakfast 45%.
"We know both are important to our customers," says John Brown, Agoda.com's Chief Operating Officer.
"Most hoteliers understand that, too, and the majority of the
properties on Agoda.com offer room rates inclusive of Wi-Fi,
breakfast or both," he said.
Travelers do have a clear preference when it comes to spacious
beds, though. When asked whether they'd prefer a bigger bed or a
bigger bathroom, 75% picked a bigger bed.
