+1. I actually find the escort even more annoying at this particular property. The walk to the room can be somewhat long and the elevators at peak times can be a bit slow, so you have quite a bit of time to make awkward small talk with the complete-stranger "butler". Plus, I'm well aware of how to use the amenities in the room so I'm even less enthusiastic about being in a private room, with the door closed, with a complete stranger discussing the location of bathrobes.

I'll continue to pass.
