The Smoking Broccoli, and Other Travelers' Tales
By JOE SHARKEY
EL SEGUNDO, Calif., May 25

I was staying three nights at the Hilton Garden Inn on the southern border of Los Angeles International Airport. It's one of those good midlevel business hotels with rooms that have kitchenettes equipped with microwave ovens. Around 6 p.m., too tired to find a restaurant, I drove up the road to a Ralphs supermarket and purchased the following standard provisions for a business traveler with a kitchenette:

One 8.5-ounce box frozen Healthy Choice Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo. One 16-ounce plastic container Sweet Dreams Premium California Strawberries. One 10-ounce box Ralphs Frozen Fresh Broccoli Spears. One six-pack ice cold beer.

En route to my rental car in the Ralphs parking lot, I had to suddenly dodge an Infiniti being backed out of a space by a beautiful young blonde. I was ready to apply some New York-style attitude till I spotted a sticker on her bumper that said: "But . . . But. . . But. . . I'm the Princess!" Dog-tired as I was, that struck me as wildly hilarious. The woman, clearly pleased that some middle-aged geezer appreciated her bumper-sticker irony, smiled those startlingly white teeth at me, lowered her window, and said: "Wow, I'm really sorry I almost ran you over?" (You know, with that question mark they put at the end of declarative sentences in Southern California?) I returned the smile and waved her out with a Elizabethan courtier's sweep of the hand.

This incident, incidentally, was the highlight of my very long day up till that point. In the hotel elevator I stood next to a man who had just checked in. He looked at my Ralphs sack.

"Glamorous life on the road, isn't it," he said.

"So they keep telling me," I replied.

In my room. I stuck dinner in the microwave and turned on the computer to get cracking on the E-Mails That Never End. About the time I was glancing at the 25th unread message in my in-box, I smelled an acrid odor. The kitchenette area began filling up with smoke.

Did you know that a cardboard box of Ralphs frozen broccoli catches fire if you microwave it for five minutes?

I grabbed the smoldering container, threw it in the sink and drowned it with tap water. Panicked that the smoke alarm would go off and make me the reason for the evacuation of the entire hotel till the fire department gave the all-clear, I propped open my room door with a couple of pairs of socks and bounded onto the bed, frantically waving a bath towel to blow any trace of smoke away from the detector on the ceiling.

The air cleared. The smoke-alarm kept quiet. But I guarantee you, folks, not even a raccoon would have touched that broccoli.

At its best, business travel can be glamorous, with visits to exotic locales and swell hotels all over the world. But at its middle level, where most of us road warriors march most of the time, glamorous is not the first word that leaps to mind.

For most business travelers most of the time, a three-star chain hotel is home away from home. These hotels offer value, comfort and, increasingly, a high level of service, consistency and amenities. Many of those amenities, like 24-hour business centers and free in-room high-speed Internet access, are in fact designed to make it easier for you to work as hard as possible when on the road.

Meanwhile, recognizing that you're probably pooped out, the good three-star brands also are joining the beds arms-race - meaning ever-more high-quality beds and bedding - that the four-star and five-star brands have been waging for more than five years.

Hilton Garden Inn, for one, is rolling out a new bed - the VSS Sleep System - constructed around not just high-quality duvets and sheets and pillows, but also mattresses with air-cells to accommodate a body's stress points.

Last night, in the bougainvillea-scented garden at the Hilton Garden Inn, I was talking with Barbara Bejan, the hotel's general manager, and with William A. Allen, a consultant with the Highland Group, of Bethesda, Md., who stays at Hilton Hotel brands so much that he enjoys top level, elite loyalty program status.

Ms. Bejan was expounding on the virtues of the new beds. Mr. Allen, who said he traveled four nights out of five each week, said he'd be back at the hotel for an extended stay this week and would like to try one out. You're on, said Ms. Bejan.

"I'm always tired because I don't sleep well in hotels," said Mr. Allen. He added, "And by the way, look around at the young people here. They look as tired as I do."

Mr. Allen said he would try the new bed for three nights this week. He also promised to report back to me on the matter.
