I could be wrong, but it also feels like hotels have stepped their game up a bit with the rise of Airbnb. Prices are good, and even cheap rooms often have microwaves, fridges, and beds that aren’t absolute torture.
- pclmulqdq 4y agoMattresses, fridges, and microwaves have gotten cheaper. Space hasn't. Even 2 star hotels these days often provide similar amenities to 4 star hotels, just in a slightly less nice wrapping.
- Spooky23 4y agoIn some ways. Hotels can't get labor so they investing in things that don't require it. I stay in alot of hotels for 2-3 day stretches. The lack of daily housekeeping really bugs me. But they seem to be building better midrange properties.
- ghaff 4y agoHotels have gotten very haphazard about servicing rooms without, in many cases, being explicit about their policies. That said, I don't really care and, when they do come by to service, I'm often in the room trying to work on something.
- scarface74 4y agoWhen I stay in hotels - and I stay in a lot of hotels - I don’t want housekeeping and I keep a do not disturb on the door.
- vlunkr 4y agoSame. I find it pretty invasive and weird, especially if it's a 1 or 2 day stay.
- samtp 4y agoHotels feel exactly the same to me as before. May be the fact that you tried out a hotel recently after staying in a few Airbnbs and were surprised by how well they stack up compared to the Airbnb experience.
