Imagine my surprise recently on a very short stay with finding the following in the bathroom:
Small sizes of Crest (.85 oz.), Speed Stick, Scope, Pantene shampoo and conditioner, a toothbrush and a comb.

Now, maybe I have had better brands at the St. Regis or a luxury collection (and I still fondly remember the Molton Brown at the Westins), but rarely have I had all of the foregoing and such relatively large sizes too. Kudos for the Four Points Newark. I wonder how it will look when renovations are completed.
I guess you don't stay much at the "lower end" properties then I have been to many FP's and some of them have the full amenities as you indicate. I also agree that FP EWR was an armpit of *wood a few years back... haven't been there recently so good to hear that it's not going the way of the dodo FP Austin
