Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Sure, the smell of apple pie is comforting and welcoming, but when I heard that some Sheraton Four Points Hotels were going to use the scent of cinnamon apple pie as a way to make guests feel welcome, I was a little skeptical. Luckily, it appears they're also using plenty of real pie as well. A Four Points exec has even joined the board of directors of the Pie Council of America (yes, it exists). Other hotels use food smells as well, including green and white teas, fig and bergamot, according to USA Today. Coincidentally, a recent episode of Good Eats also talked about how smell relates to memory and emotion.[Via AdJab]

Many of them also have an Au Bon Pain store in the lobby/lounge area and have big urns of fresh free coffee in the lounge--right next to the registration desk--in case guests need a little shot of caffeine while they check in...Stayed at one of these cute, reasonably-priced hotels on the first half of my honeymoon. I'd definitely go back--good price, nice room, and free cookies!
