My views tend to be towards preserving the environment and our natural resources. Ideally, the hotels should pass on the savings to us (or at least a percentage of them) from reduced laundry expenses. Even if they don't, I still believe it is a good idea to help preserve our natural resources. That said, in practice at hotels I tend to ask for new towels daily though I try to use as few as possible. I also expect the room to be dusted, vacumed and the bathroom to be cleaned (light duty touch up is fine most of the time). I am more than willing to use the same sheets for a few days (even a week) at a time. Back to towels if the ones hotels provide were larger and a higher quality (more absorbent), I'd be willing to use them for a few days (i.e. similar to the grade I use at home). Bottom line, regardless of whether or not the hotels share the monetary savings we only have one world to live in. We should all do our part to preserve as best we can. Stepping down from the soap box now...
