Well observed and said.
Or put in motion-sensing thermostats that let the temperature shoot up when they detect no motion (like when people have gone to sleep).
Another phrasing I wish I had thought to express.
Well, that's the truth.
But what I really want to know is whether there will be a customer-facing laundry. Am I the only person who travels long enough that washing clothes is necessary?

It all comes down to cost. From HD Supply I can buy 12 non-disposable forks for $6 or I can buy 1000 disposable ones for $40. Not hard to see which will be the winner.

Suppose you'll lose 4 each day, those will last 20 days.
1000 disposable forks will last how many days?
On my next roadtrip in the USA, only one out of fourteen stays will be at a Hampton Inn. Entirely because there is no other Hilton option and the rate in points is better than the rate in cash, so it sort of feels like I'm staying for free.

[QUOTE=flyerCO;36102958]Correct, and you can tell who the distributor/bottler is in the local market by the shape of the two liter bottles, i.e. if Coca-Cola bottled it, the Dr. Pepper bottle is shaped like a two liter Coke bottle and if Pepsico bottled it, the Dr. Pepper bottle is shaped like a two liter Pepsi bottle.

), you ain't gonna get it. It's fake kombucha or tea, or sports fans drinks. Though I would think it would make sense to make regional variations.

Parking Charge
First off, it's Dr Pepper...not Dr. Pepper. I myself am a Coke Zero fan, so it's nice to see Coke products.
Kind of off topic but it fits w/ revenue generation...has anyone experienced a fee to park (which is negated with a validation code) at a Hampton Inn with an open (non-gated) parking lot? I was recently at a property and was told this is something new with Hilton - was not the case at the beginning of Feb.
Apologies if I've missed a thread already discussing this...
