IIRC, the Book Cadillac is in a not-so-great area of Detroit. The Renaissance is in a neighborhood I was willing to walk around in to get dinner. It seems reasonable to me that a higher-priced hotel in a better neighborhood pays its staff more, and as a result has better employees (or at least first pick of them).

Personally I don’t think housekeeping is the right resource for this task.
If I'm doing something such that I don't want Housekeeping to enter my room, I'll tell them not to enter the room (leave the DND sign out all day). Does anybody really believe that not getting 500 points would deter a potential terrorist?
