SYDNEY A survey of travelers habits by the Novotel hotel chain here found that women were messier and more apt to steal hotel towels while men normally take things like wine openers and shoe shine kits from guestrooms. According to the survey, men tip better and drink beer from the mini-bar while wine has caught up with mineral water as the favorite mini-bar purchase for women.
The Novotel survey also found that in flirting and watching adult movies, women are catching up to men. 14% of Novotel staff found women more flirtatious than men. In last years survey, 100% of staff said men made more passes. Men are more likely to sleep through wake-up calls, use laundry services, and complain about the non-smoking policy. (1/11/01)
