Is Your Hotel’s Charging Setup Turning Guests Away?

Walk into almost any modern hotel room, and one of the first things a guest looks for isn’t the mini bar, the TV, or even the view—it’s a place to plug in. And if your charging setup is behind the times, you could be starting every stay with a negative impression.

The Problem: Outlets That Don’t Deliver

  • Outlets that don’t work, are loose, or hidden behind furniture frustrate guests instantly. Nothing signals neglect more than a socket that spits a charger back out.

  • Limited access: If only one side of the bed has power, you’re forcing couples to argue over who gets to charge overnight.

  • Old tech: If your room’s “modern” solution is 3–5 years old, it likely doesn’t include USB-C. And without wireless charging, you’re lagging behind airplanes and airport lounges.

In today’s market, this isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a red flag. Guests notice. And they compare.

The Baseline Expectation: The Charging MVP

Ask yourself:

  • Can you and your partner both plug in, on your own side of the bed, with just your charging cable?

  • Do you have USB-C ports (the new standard), not just old USB-A?

  • Is there wireless charging, so guests can drop and charge without thinking?

If the answer to any of these is “no,” your hotel’s charging setup isn’t meeting the minimum viable product guests expect today.

The Hidden Cost of Falling Behind

It’s not just about convenience—it’s about perception. Guests equate bad charging setups with:

  • A hotel that’s dated.

  • A hotel that doesn’t care about guest comfort.

  • A hotel that isn’t keeping up with the basics.

That’s how you end up with reviews that say things like “couldn’t even charge my phone by the bed.” Small detail, big damage.

The Competitive Advantage of Getting It Right

Your competitors are upgrading. Many already offer dual-side charging with USB-C, USB-A, AC outlets, and wireless pads. If you’re not there yet, you’re behind—and your guests know it.

In hospitality, little details separate a good stay from a forgettable one. Charging is no longer an amenity—it’s a baseline. Miss it, and you’re turning guests off before they even crawl into bed.
