I agree entirely - and on that note and slightly OT for a moment: are there other hotel chains (or airlines) that do similar things? For example, Lufthansa First have the rubber ducks (with whom I shall likely never be personally acquainted) and SQ have bears available in J (and surely F). Anything else like that? Perhaps a rabbit hole one should not go down...
