A survey of more than 6,000 travelers by online travel site Trivago asked international travelers which hotel amenities they would be willing to give up to save money. The results showed 21% of Portuguese, 15% of Brits and 14% of Italians are more likely to give up Wi-Fi in their hotel than television in exchange for a cheaper rate. That's compared to only 4% of Americans.

Twenty percent of Americans were more likely to give up TV for a cheaper rate -- perhaps because you can watch shows on your laptop or tablet with a Wi-Fi connection.

The one amenity no one was willing to give up easily? Air conditioning.
