Hotels usually have clocks but aren't always easy to adjust or keep good time.  I don't usually take my cell phone but when I do I use that as a back up alarm to my travel clock.  My clock is a digital one but they come in analogue as well.  I recommend one that has a back light so you can read it in the dark.

Space is tight in my suitcase so my alarm clock is very small but still very reliable and effective. You can get models that fold up and form a stand so you can see the clock easier and ones that are very slim so they don't take up much space.  My travel clock is battery operated and you will find most are, so I do take back up batteries just in case, but so far haven't needed them.

Travel clocks can also have other features like calculators, a torch (to help you get to the bathroom), a currency converter and a calendar.  I have never needed those features as long as it had an alarm and a snooze button I was OK.

Travel clocks are inexpensive and on eBay you can get a bargain from only a dollar or two.  Be sure to look at the features that you need and the size of the clock before bidding.  If you want reliability and accuracy I probably wouldn't buy a second hand vintage clock to use for travel.

You wont have to rely on a wake up call that never comes if you carry your own travel clock with you.  It is only a small investment but I can assure you that you will take it on every vacation you go on both business and pleasure.
