Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Keep connected at resorts in DE

For a business traveler at a resort in DE, away from home and office, keeping connected is of the utmost importance. Not only is contact with superiors and co-workers vital to business interests, but personal connections with family and friends keeps the wayward traveler close to home. Maintaining strong personal connections while on the road keeps the weary frequent-flier positive and productive.

I recommend: Catering to the business traveler, the Holiday Inn Select in Claymont features high speed Internet access and a full business center. Among other amenities, the Sheraton Dover Hotel features high speed Internet access in all guest rooms.

Stay productive after you find resorts in Delaware

Few professionals travel with a full, office-quality supply of printers, scanners, fax machines, paper, ink and toner, so having a resort in Delaware with such amenities is important. Many so-called hotel business centers are substandard, featuring outdated or non-functioning equipment that outlived its usefulness decades earlier. Short of providing their own services, DE resorts should at least be locally accessible to a FedEx/Kinkos, Staples or a similar print shop that offers comprehensive business printing solutions.

I recommend: The Pocmont Resort in the Poconos features a business center as well as AV equipment rental services. The Bellmoor features a 24-hour fax and copy service to all guests.

Clean the dirty laundry at resorts in DE

Extended stays at resorts in Delaware can weigh on your mind and body. Packing your entire wardrobe would also weigh heavily on your back and shoulders, so dry cleaning and laundry services are valuable to the long-term business traveler. Normally, items left for pick-up in the morning are cleaned and pressed by the time your return in the evening. This is more important than it might seem. Woe to the salesman who has to close a deal on 4-day-old socks.

I recommend: The Boardwalk Hotel features housekeeping laundry services as well as a post-checkout changing-room option. Though the Residence Inn Dover website does not make mention of it, most extended-stay hotels offer dry cleaning services.
