What’s fake about my post?

Moreover, it seems you didn’t comprehend my post. I wasn’t complaining about the bottle size - of course I know Marriott is moving to larger bottles (already has) which is a huge plus in that you don’t have to deal with a stingy housekeeper or front desk employee - many of which exist at Hilton - only wanting to give you one small bottle, of which only half of it will squeeze out

I was mainly knocking how low quality the product INSIDE Hilton’s bottles are - if you can even find them in liquid form. Hilton loves giving out soap bars that dry out skin and saying they don’t have liquid body wash.
I was just dumbfounded that you would be in love with Marriott's bulk toiletries. Technically I guess it is a larger bottle if it has actually been filled with the correct stuff. This is an older article, but I expect little has changed.

The quality of Hilton's toiletries varies by the brand level, as I expect it does at Marriott. I have never been denied extra bottles at a Hilton front desk or by housekeeping.

If you want to hear about bad housekeeping, I could tell you about my last stay at a Four Points. It was bad enough that the manager offered to fully refund the stay. I couldn't change rooms, as the FDA had disappeared.

In any case, you hate Hilton I get it. Believe me, I hate Marriott just as much and maybe more. I rarely stay at Marriott properties, but most of my miserable stays have been at Marriotts.

Back on point, I think the analysis above on the relative value of Marriott vs. Hilton points is spot on. You may get more Hilton points for a stay that at a Marriott, but the relative value of the points will be roughly the same.

Cheers!
