Experts confirm that sleeping between 60-67 F is best for most humans--since lower temperatures lower our blood pressure, which also helps us go to sleep. (That's the same principle used by most prescription sleep aids, by the way.)
No one's comfort or ability to wash themselves is in any way impaired by this change to avoid so many small plastic containers. Oops. Nice try. but no one is buying.
Sounds like the same kind of hysteria to me: sometimes things go wrong with hotel air condition, just like sometimes things go wrong with wall-mounted, toiletry dispensers.
And hotels throttling the air condition is a cost-saving measure that can also be proclaimed to “save the world”, so why not just accept hot hotel rooms in the same way as accepting wall-mounted toiletry dispensers in hotel rooms? It’s all about “saving the world”, isn’t it?
For what it’s worth, I would complain about service degradation and failures related to my hotel room air condition-related interests. Same “hysteria” when it comes to service degradation and failures related to my hotel room toiletry-related interests. Consistency in the “hysteria” approach beggars the above allegations about straw men and red herrings coming from my post.
