As to the OP, I too nearly always ask for extra towels and pillows and rarely, if ever receive them (and this goes for either Marriot or Hyatt). If I am staying more than a few nights, I will usually run into the housekeeper on the first night, or leave a nice note, and at most -good- full service hotels, my request to the housekeeper is honored for the rest of my stay no problems.

Second, at home I am not charging myself $200/night for lodging.
Agreed. At home, I use a fresh towel (or two) every shower (often twice a day) and I do a load of towels twice a week (which is the easiest load of laundry to fold there is). At hotels, I expect no less -- hence the extra towels request to begin with.
