Presidential hotel stays

President Barack Obama lives at one of the globe’s most famous addresses. But when his job takes him on the road – and it frequently does – even the most powerful man in the world checks into a hotel. What’s it like when the president of the United States spends the night at a Holiday Inn? Or the Waldorf-Astoria? Yahoo News dug into this little-noticed aspect of presidential life – including security arrangements, room service, and what is on the must-have list.
