Days Inns of Canada is yet another hotel chain trying to attract business travellers by making their lives a little easier.

Days Inns is now offering business travellers who are members of its Frequent Stay Club rooms that contain a coffee maker, hairdryer, data ports in telephones, and extra long telephone cords for use at bedside.

The service was developed in response to similar initiatives by higher-priced hotels that often include in-room use of computers, fax machines and other office equipment.

The program is being tested in 16 hotels, and will be rolled out, with national advertising, in all Days Inns by January 1. AB
