Interviewer: So, what special needs do business travellers have?
Kevin: One of the most important things is a quick check-in and check-out. After a long trip it's annoying to have to wait at the hotel reception for five minutes. Room service is also very important. Guests often stay in their rooms working and don't have the time to go out to a restaurant, so they want their meals to be served in their rooms.
Interviewer: And what facilities are there in the rooms?
Kevin: Well, nowadays communication facilities are essential, so things like a modem socket, where guests can plug their modems in, and a fax are very important.
Interviewer: Yes, of course.
Kevin: The lighting is also very important. We've just spent a lot of money upgrading the lighting in our rooms. As I said, guests often spend their evenings preparing work, so they need good lighting at their desks.
Interviewer: And what about facilities in the hotel in general?
Kevin: The bars are important. Corporate guests tend to spend more time in the hotel bars than tourists. It's very important to provide a business centre, too.
Interviewer: What services does the business centre provide?
Kevin: Basic secretarial services such as photocopying and typing. It also coordinates conferences and any catering which is included in them. Clients always find it helpful to have these kind of things organised for them.
Interviewer: Right, and what about the distance to the airport and city centre? Is that important?
Kevin: Yes. We' re in the east of London so we're near City Airport. A lot of our guests have meetings in this area, so they don't want to be near Heathrow airport or right in the city centre. But it is easy to get to the centre of London from here. It only takes about 15 minutes with our courtesy bus. And there's a river taxi, as well.
Interviewer: Are your corporate guests interested in using your fitness centre or swimming pool?
Kevin: Not really. They're more popular with tourists. Our corporate guests are more interested in getting in and out of the hotel as quickly as possible and working while they're here.
