CanuckFlyHigh makes a very good point about long-term maintenance of rooms, but that issue aside, I am glad to see this.

This is mostly because it finally makes the hotels put their money where their mouth is, so to speak, about the supposed environmental benefits that they claim to value. For years they have had those cards whereby one could opt-out of getting fresh towels or sheets (at some hotels, one now even has to opt-in).

The hotels have always said that this was for environmental reasons, but, since they were obtaining benefits but not having to pay anything for them, I found it easy to cynically assume that hotels were simply trying to save money. Now they are making some type of investment in the supposedly environmentally-friendly practices, which is appropriate if they are serious.
