I recognize local-level cost-cutting when I see it, of course, but shouldn't corporate be dictating some standards for the flagship full-service brand?
Yeah, the Hilton Guangzhou shed the light to me that there's SO much more than shampoo, conditioner, body lotion and soap...All of these, and don't forget the PTR-branded loofah, bath salt tablet thingy, and I'm sure even more. I actually bring home the loofahs for my wife...They give me a new one every day!

(This and for many other reasons, the Hilton Guangzhou is by far my favorite regular Hilton brand property in the world).
