I've never stayed in a high end hotel in the US which didn't provide a toothpaste and toothbrush kit on the bathroom counter on arrival. And like many other people are stating on this thread at almost every hotel I've stayed at in other regions around the world (Asia, Oceania, South America, Europe) the same thing is provided.
Seems like a bit of a straw man premise for the article.
- cstejerean 10y agoWhat do you consider a high end hotel? Most hotels I have stayed at provide toothpaste but only upon request. I don't remember last time I have seen toothpaste just waiting on the counter.
- ghaff 10y agoIt's certainly not the norm in the US at the big chains (Marriott, Starwoods) even at their higher-end properties. I can't say the presence or absence of toothpaste (or razor, etc.) is something that I make a particular note of but they aren't common.
- Aloha 10y agoPerhaps you've only stayed in hyatt properties? In the last year, I've been in a full service Marriott, Hilton, Sheraton and a Hyatt - and out of those, only the Hyatt had toothpaste. The Sheraton also had one, but it was clearly marked as a special promotion, and my last stay at a sheraton before that, had no such amenity.
