Thanks for the advice, but I wouldn't want to stay in a hotel where I didn't have to put my clothes on before going to the restaurant.
The "old style" are not only expensive to maintain and have extra parts to wash, but you can bet that the carafe's aren't put through a commercial dishwasher, but are rinsed out in the room's sink. I wouldn't drink out of one of those filthy things if you paid me extra to do it.
True, some are pretty nasty, but I always wash them out myself before using them. I've seen far dirtier coffee pots in offices. The carafes for the hotel pots tend to be pretty clean, it's the funnel part that doesn't get a good cleaning.
