Question

Which survey question should be changed to allow for a simple answer?
1. How many times do you travel on business in a typical year?
2. How would you rate our food, conference rooms, and the recreational opportunities
nearby?
3. When you arrived at our hotel, how long did it take to check in?
4. To reach our hotel, did you travel by car, train, bus, or airplane? (Check all that apply.)

Answer 1

Question 2 should be changed. It’s double‑barreled (asks about food, conference rooms, and recreational opportunities in one item), so respondents can’t give a simple, specific answer.

Suggested fix: split into separate questions, e.g.
- How would you rate our food?
- How would you rate our conference rooms?
- How would you rate the recreational opportunities nearby?

Use a simple response scale (e.g., 1–5 or Poor / Fair / Good / Very good / Excellent).
