when i saw "goldorak + mama shelter" , i knew it would be epic and couldnt wait to see how it went for you

For a bit of context , mama shelter is in accor portfolio what moxxy is in marriott's portfolio , and is a brand clearly designed for millenials , gen Z and Alpha

By the way it's a french brand , it wasnt created by accor but joined the group later on

What i like with some of the "newest" brands like mama shelter is that they are trying things differently , which is something competitors don't do .

About toiletries , its true that recent accor policies aim to reduce then eliminate the use of single use plastic , however most hotels i have seen use now standard multi-usage bottles provided by accor , but i guess mama shelters are "not standardized" , so they have bit more freedom to decide , for the good or worst

About ALL benefits, it can be property or brand policy , but in this case i guess it is property's policy , cause for instance some mama shelter dont apply the members rates

About points earning , the mama shelter brand , despite being in midscale category , earns you same as ibis and ibis styles

i think tribe might be more suitable for you than mama shelter , and i would love to see you even one day in a jo&joe

Or if you have few bucks to invest , take a look at the first and brand new Mama Shelter Residences in Dubai
