That said, I notice lots of Wamsutta brands, but have noticed many other suppliers, and found great variances between brands. Also have noticed that just becasue the room has the booklet about the linens, doesn't necessaily mean the roonm actuallyhas those linens in it.
It may also vary for corporate owned hotels versus franchised. I worked at a franchise prioperty, and our linens came from whatever manufacturer had the best prices at that time, but that still met our comfort standards. Linens pricing fluctatutes a lot thru the year, and pricing varied dramatically by country of origin, most being made outside the USA.
actually all hotels MUST purchase the brand standard linen which does require buying the exact same linen from the same manufacturer...years ago Baker was the vendor but they went bellyup a few years ago...these days I do believe it's Wamsutta (it's been a long long time since I've had to order them)
