_Opens Marriott App, books a hotel anywhere in the world, quality standards met_ It’s annoying that hotels don’t do daily cleanings as often and resort fees only questionably add value but at least I don’t have to pack my bedding, look for cameras hidden inside the bathroom, or worry about somebody just casually entering at night

> It’s annoying that hotels don’t do daily cleanings as often At typical 3+ star hotels (like, as you mentioned, Marriott) you can request free daily cleanings. They just stopped doing them by default.

  Do you change the sheets on your bed daily at home? Do you use fresh towels after every shower at home? There's the "it's a rental" mentality applied to everything that I think is just out of place in most areas. Maybe it's just me, but I tend to treat other people's things more precious than mine for the simple fact that I'm probably using someone else's thing because I can't afford my own. So treating their thing with the "it's a rental" attitude just means I'll be charged for the thing I didn't want to pay for in the first place. I know, I'm weird.

    Do you do your dishes at a restaurant? Clean the table after you eat and if needed move the table and chairs to another corner? And go throw the leftovers into a dustbin or pack it or put it in the fridge yourself? I guess not! Yeah that sounded like a very absurd/weird comparison > There's the "it's a rental" mentality applied No it’s not a “it’s a rental mentality” — it’s more like “you’re paying exactly for that service”! Yup, exactly for that. What you are saying is more (loosely) like — “oh my god, how horrible is it to expect this taxi driver to drive me to my destination just because I am going to pay the fare, if it was my car I would have driven it myself, right?”.

      No, none of that. I didn't quote the exact part I was replying to since it was the last bit of text, but for those not following along: >They just stopped doing them by default. When you pay for a hotel, they still clean the room when you check out. They just don't necessarily do it by default each night if you're only staying for 1 or 2 nights. They will do it if you specifically request it, but is changing your sheets really necessary if you just slept in the for one night and will be the staying one more night? I don't care if it is the hotel or not paying for the water/electricity to do that laundry, but that just seems extremely wasteful, especially multiplied times the number of guests with the same duration of stay. what you're going on about is totally different and just flat out being argumentative for arugment's sake. or, you just missed the point.

        Here you go - I suspected I had missed the point while I was typing my comment but after seeing this reply of yours now I really think I was spot on. And seeing your these two comments I believe you ought to be the last person to be mentioning 'being argumentative for arugment's sake' :) Anyway, cheers! We have different taste and preferences in what one expects from a hotel room. Happy staying in hotels!

    > Do you change the sheets on your bed daily at home? Do you use fresh towels after every shower at home? I don't know why you're targeting this rant at me. I was just telling someone that hotels do a thing that they want them to do. I don't have my hotel cleaned daily. In their defense, some people pay for hotels specifically for this luxury. You get to pamper yourself for a few nights, which might be meaningful if you're in an otherwise unpleasant place. As for the rest of your comment, I found it pretty unintelligible. Do you want to use Airbnb or not? Are you for or against washing your own dishes?

      >Do you want to use Airbnb or not? No, I've never used airbnb, and won't for multiple reasons. >Are you for or against washing your own dishes? assuming you're referring to eating out at a restaurant, so no. otherwise, if i don't do my dishes, who else is going to do them? kind of left that question a bit vague. You left your comment with the statement that hotels have stopped doing automatic daily room cleaning by default when a guest is staying longer than one night. I don't think this is a negative. I find it very wasteful to have linens and what not cleaned daily. How dirty were you when you got in the bed that they need changing that this is expected. If that's your expectation, is that a normal thing where you change your bedding daily at home? It's that "fuck it, it's a rental" attitude. Unless you had a really bad night and shat/pissed the bed, there's no reason for it.

    It’s been my understanding that the daily cleanings keep the bedbugs under control. People pack their suitcase on their bed at home, come to hotel, unpack their suitcase on the bed. Easy transfer opportunity. Daily cleanings can help eliminate a good chunk of them before they spread and ruin the entire hotel building.

  I stay at hotels a lot - 200 days+ a year - we always put DND on our door. I don’t want housekeeping coming into the room when I’m not there. While now whatever hotel I’m staying at is “home” (nomadding across the US 7 months a year), I felt the same when traveling for business.

    I envy your hotel elite status!

      Honestly, you can get Diamond Status with Hilton by getting the Amex Hilton Aspire card that more than pays for itself.
