Moreover, it is possible many of us have a shampoo bottle "addiction" and are very exited when Aveda, Bliss, Remede, etc are given in little bottles. Ellen Degeneres admits she takes the hotel shampoo bottles home with her.

Stayed at the Sheraton St. Paul Woodbury this week. They had the Bliss shaving cream, all the Shine products, and two robes in my room - both stays. I was impressed and will remeber this hotel. The rates were in the $135 range. Compare this to the Minneapolis Westin. MW went green so no robe, pump dispensers for the products, $28 to park, and $200/ni. Seems one hotel is doing their best to please and the other is making cuts at the expense of the customer.

The free breakfast for Plats does not fit into the green program as it promotes toilet flushing.
