I remember doing this at the Embassy Suits probably around 2002.
Oh man i remember visiting japan solo when i was 18 and using the hotel computer in the lobby to research places to go and see each day, how to get to places like akihabara and where to go once there for the best shit.
Printing out a couple of pages of info for the next day ahead. Those were the days. Travel and tourism with maps in your pockets these days really ruins the sense of discovery and adventure that you got before then, I try to avoid using any of that shit but my gf is always pulling out her phone and ruining it xD
Most still do, they have an “office” where I often print things I need for work when traveling.
“The Business Center”. They have dwindled over the years
This is still very much a thing, in the US at least.
Where have you seen it? Any particular chains?
I don’t travel much but I drive for doordash for extra cash. Basically every motel I go to still has that public office room with a couple computers and a printer in there. La Quinta, motel 6 just off the top of my head.
