Women make are noisy, naughty and more adventurous in hotels.
Sydney - Women may be quieter than men in hotel rooms, but they make more noise during sex.
When women do make too much noise, it's probably because they are shouting at their husbands or children, while noisy men are more likely to be cheering during a televised sports match.
A survey of travellers' habits by the Novotel hotel chain in Australia and New Zealand , published on Wednesday, found that women were messier and also more light-fingered when it came to packing hotel towels.
When they do steal, men normally take "blokey" things like wine openers and shoe-shine kits.
"Overall, the Novotel survey proves that despite decades of feminism, some gender stereotypes are hard to overcome," said the Novotel group managing firm, Accor.
Its survey of staff at 27 hotels in Australia and New Zealand , however, found that in flirting and watching adult movies, women were starting to catch up.
"It would appear that women are becoming more assertive," Accor said in stating that 14 percent of Novotel staff found women more flirtatious than men. The year before, 100 percent of staff questioned said men made more passes.
Men tip better and drink beer from the minibar. Wine has now caught up with mineral water as the favourite minibar tipple of women, but that does not necessarily explain why women had 69 percent of hotel car-park accidents in 2000.
Men are more likely to sleep through wake-up calls, use laundry services, and complain about the non-smoking policy. Men are also more likely to lock themselves out of their rooms, nude, mistaking the room door for the bathroom door.
Both sexes are getting naughtier. "Guests seem to be getting more adventurous, with increasing numbers (of couples) found in saunas, car parks and lifts," said Accor.
