I never considered that. However, what I was trying to say is that the current hotel that I'm staying at does treat me like this and I appreciate it. I always get a "Welcome back" greeting when I arrive. The signed card-stock on my desk in my room gets met with an eye-roll and gets thrown in the recycling .
