hate roth toiletries! cheap and nasty and made in china if u read the small print - i like the crabtree and evelyn stuff in europe and also the ahava stuff at hilton tel aviv what a major downgrade!
the little blue bottles = sometimes large bottles in greece, germany = crabtree and evelyn

The PTR in the US doesn't have fine print where they made from, but more than likely made in US.
Just like previously Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Hilton used, those in US properties made in US (same as if you buy it from C&E stores in the US). However, I stayed in Hilton in Japan, the C&E LaSource bottles printed they are made in China.
Not to mention, those C&E containers in US Hiltons are tall bottles, the ones I saw in Japan Hiltons are squeeze tubes, so it is very obvious they don't come from the same distribution or made in the same country.
8 years ago Hiltons in the US were using Neutrogena, and they were still using little individual bottles of shampoo, conditioner, lotion, "green" listermint mouthwash.

Funny, I've always thought just the opposite about the Crabtree & Evelyn "La Source" line being phased out. The powder blue and sweet scent always seemed a bit feminine to me.
I liked that line when Hilton 1st introduced it, but quickly grew tired of it. Much prefer the new PTR products.

I wish they would change from PTR to another brand. C and E was much bettter. We stayed at a Doubletree recently in USA and it was C and E Citrus which was such a relief from PTR. The only decent thing from PTR is the bodywash. The shampoo and conditioner are awful.

Neutrogena at Hampton
Had to wake the dead for this one.
At a mid-west Hampton this week had them switch out from the older tubes to the Neutrogena in the middle of the stay. Bottles are a bit taller, but seem to hold a little less.
Is this a new brand standard?

Yep...have been in every Hampton I've visited for past couple of months. Definitely an improvement.

Bath tablets
I wonder what's wrong with the Tomas Roth bath tablets.
Currently I have two of them in my toiletry bag, which have these dates printed on them:
MFG: 2012/03/09 EXP: 2014/03/08 (from a stay last weekend!)
MFG: 2012/04/03 EXP: 2014/04/02 (from a stay about a month ago)
Does this mean hardly anyone ever uses these tablets?

Strange consistency in shower gel?
Presently in Hilton Houston Post Oak...somehow the Peter Thomas Roth shower gel seems to be of strange consistency...the orange color is more vivid, and there isn't those micro beads inside them...although the bottle and description on it remains the same.
Anyone notice this difference?
