When IHG switched they stated that there is a significant upfront cost involved in installing the larger dispensers, but that investment will be recouped in 1-3 years from the cost savings associated with the bulk toiletries. No mention of increased labor costs. Any additional labor would come from housekeeping, and I doubt Marriott is going to up their time quota for cleaning or increase their salary, so no additional costs there. Maybe start tipping or increase your tip for housekeeping?
