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?

I just bought a bunch from my supplier on Amazon hoping it's still the old gel.

Since I hadn't seen the latter offering before, I guessed that either:
- The orange body cleanser was an optional/premium amenity that most properties don't bother to supply, or
- Peter Thomas Roth is phasing out the old body wash due to environmentalists' growing criticism of microbeads, and the Palmer House was just clearing out its stock.
On another note, has anyone else noticed how the PTR toiletries have been slowly shrinking since they debuted in 2011? For example, the North American shampoo bottle, introduced at one ounce, decreased first to 0.9 ounces and then again to an even smaller, unlabeled volume. Similarly, the facial bars have shed a fifth of their original 1.25 ounces.
I know the European containers were always a bit smaller than their North American counterparts, so perhaps Hilton/Sysco Guest Supply are simply streamlining their SKU count.

I always thought it odd that the PTR conditioner was also materially smaller than the Shampoo size which if you actually have hair of length means you are getting less than you really need.

Doubletree Heathrow UK - liquid soap gone?
Checked-in last week at my regular airport hotel Doubletree Heathrow and had to find out that my preferred way of hand-wash - liquid soap - had been removed from the sink area as well from the shower area.
Cost saving at DBT UK?
Only found (same brand as previously in the rooms) at their public rest rooms.
Can't remember how the liquid soap situation is in other DBT in the US or Asia, but would prefer to have them due to hygienic reasons.
Thanks for your inputs!

Just to ask, are you sure that they weren't stolen? Did you ask the front desk?
Admittedly, the last time I stayed in a UK DT was in Jan. and they still had the large bottles fixed to the walls near the sink and the shower...
I'll post about whether the Edinburgh DT has them still in a weeks time as a data point. Would be sad to see the liquid soap go, although I do like the option as some bars of soap are quite nice.
