Let me tell you, this week has been all about coffee! On Monday I received a surprise from Keurig-- a new brewer! I can't tell you how excited I was to see that box on my doorstep. I've been using the Keurig mini brewer, every day, for about four years now. It still works great, but the newer model is definitely an upgrade.
Then later in the week I learned that Hilton Garden Inn is now featuring Keurig brewers in over 73,000 guestrooms within the U.S. and Canada.

In addition to a Keurig K130 single cup brewing system, each guestroom will be supplied with four complimentary Keurig K-Cup packs.
- In the U.S., guestrooms will include two Diedrichs Regular Coffee, one Diedrichs Decaffeinated Coffee and one Bigelow Black Tea K-Cup packs.
- In Quebec, guestrooms will include two Van Houtte Colombian Dark Coffee, one Van Houtte Decaffeinated Coffee and one Bigelow Black Tea K-Cup® packs.
- In the greater Canada area, guestrooms will include two Timothy's Rainforest Alliance Extra Bold Coffee, one Timothy's Rainforest Alliance Extra Bold Decaffeinated Coffee and one Bigelow Black Tea K-Cup® packs.
Personally, I'm super excited about the addition because I can now take my favorite Keurig K-Cups with me when I stay at a Hilton Garden Inn. That might sound crazy to some, but once you've used a Keurig for so long you begin to get partial to certain flavors (right now I'm digging Wild Mountain Blueberry!).
According to a survey of 500 high-frequency travelers conducted by Carbonview Research, Inc., among the amenities surveyed, in-room coffee is second in importance, behind only WiFi. Additionally, 78% of guests said in-room coffee was important, and single serve coffee is guests' number one in-room coffee preference.
How important is in-room coffee to you when you're traveling?

I can not even begin to imagine the amount of extra fun and energy I would have with easy coffee at my disposal. Great feature!

That's such a bonus to have in each room since it makes it so much simpler to make coffee.

This is a huge plus! I love being able to make a fresh cup of hot tea at night to relax.

I loved my Keurig and was so sad when it stopped working!!! I asked Santa for a new one for Christmas 😉 That's awesome that Hilton is offering them in their rooms!!
Rachel @ Following In My Shoes
Ooooo -- that is exciting news. I normally HATE hotel coffee... I'm too addicted to my Keurig!

I love finding a Keurig in my hotel rooms! It's a great way to make guests feel at home.

Well that tells me someone there is certainly using their noodle 🙂
Leilani
I've only been drinking coffee for about a year now, but I haven't tried Keurig yet.
Mickey
My husband would choose the hotel based on that alone. 🙂 It's those details that are so important.
Mellisa
That is awesome! Definitely a plus in my book.
Colleen
What a nice perk...pun intended.
Tiff @ Babes and Kids
I'm actually not a coffee drinker but I love having a cup of hot cocoa or herbal tea. It's so nice that they have these in the rooms!
Liz @ A Nut in a Nutshell
This is awesome! I would SO bring along my Snapple cups or hot cocoa cups!
Crystal @ Simply Being Mommy.com
I love when hotels offer an in-room Keurig!
Paula @ Frosted Fingers
I wish all hotels would put Keurigs in their room. We never need a full pot (even one of those little pots) since I can't share regular coffee with my husband

How awesome that they carry them now! I tried my first Keurig drink recently and liked it.

Howdy, I hopped over to your website page via Pinterest. Not a thing I frequently read through, although I really enjoy your ideas nevertheless. A big heads up for developing some thing worthy of reading!
