I'll say this: I think some people want an interesting experience, regardless of whether it is intuitive or expected or within their comfort zone. But some others just want a nice, safe, clean, comfortable, quiet, home-like, relaxing experience. Those folks do not want surprises. Maybe they are visiting that city for work, they are away from family and the comforts of home and this hotel room may be the closet thing they'll have to a home base temporarily in lieu of that. They do not want excitement or exotica --- not from the hotel room anyway.

For most people, if they want to see something unusual or exotic they could visit a museum, visit a foriegn country and experience local culture, and heck, nowadays, there's lots of exotica just a click away on the web. In other words, I know I risk coming across a "2 girls 1 cup" experience when strolling randomly through the web (I'm looking at you 4chan), but I don't want that sort of surprise out of a hotel room, thank you very much.
