Call me a bit suspicious or jaded but I've never thought this policy was driven by an environmental concern. Sure it may have started that way for a few months but as
rahmanbar states, it didn't take long for the bean counters to develop a gleam in their eye when they saw the cost savings.
We only change the sheets at our house once a week but I'm also not paying upwards of $200 a night to sleep in my own bed. I want the sheets changed daily in any hotel I'm staying. I'm not sure why this is an issue with me....perhaps because the sheets and towels are cheap and/or have been used by who knows how many thousand people in the past. But they can't be clean enough for me.
I see this "no-change" policy for sheets and towels as a disturbing and even disgusting practice that appears to be gaining legs.
