In eliminating toiletries I hope they do not see introducing bulk as an opportunity to reduce the quality
Have you been to a Mercure or Novotel recently? It is simply not possible. I am writing this from a Mercure in Vienna where there are both toiletries in small packages and a big dispenser of green goo under the shower - same green goo I know from some Ibis Styles. And I much prefer the dispenser shower detergent over the tubed ones.
