I've been staying at the HP in Fair Lawn, NJ once or twice a month for the past year. Looks like they are installing wall-mounted dispensers of the KenetMD shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the rooms and only giving a round bar of hand soap.

Sorry for the off-topic comment. I used to do 1 night staycations at HP Fair Lawn, which is an AmeriSuites hotel rebranded as a Hyatt Place ~15 years ago. Depending on your tastes and logistics, you might find the relatively new (2020) Hyatt Place Fort Lee / George Washington Bridge more comfortable and enjoyable, definitely cleaner and not run down. It’s 10 miles down Rt. 4; 12 minutes without traffic, could be 40 minutes with traffic 
. They’ve also replaced individual toiletries with shower wall mounted dispensers. (I remain convinced that wall mounted “body wash” and “shampoo” are identical, maybe with some coloring added to one or the other 
.) List of AmeriSuites Properties Converted to Hyatt Place
Edit: HP Fort Lee/GW Bridge also has much larger more modern fully enclosed bathrooms typical of new build HPs instead of the ridiculous “tiny bathroom with sink in the room outside the bathroom” arrangement of converted AmeriSuites HPs.

This week's HP in Verona, WI, has a bracket bolted to the shower wall for dispensers, but no dispensers. KenetMD lotion and conditioner tubes, but the shampoo is some blue slimy off-brand made in India. Oh and there was a larger rectangular bar of soap besides the round one vs body wash (I hate body wash).

It seems to be of similar quality to me. I think I prefer the Le Labo scent but I'm a bit of a Le Labo fanboy. My significant other said she thinks the lotion is nicer. There was a exfoliating bar of soap as well as hand soap in the room as well and I really liked the exfoliating bar.

Atrium Suite at HRT
First time stayed in the Atrium Suite at HRT. Loved the suite with Aromatherapy Associates. I was in the Regency Suite last time and the room had REN products. Not sure which bath stuff is better and fancier…

The HR Yokohama suites have small bottles of Bastide's Argan, so nice move there. Better yet, they give you two of each, so it's about the same volume as the single-size unwieldly ones that leak at the Andaz Tokyo, but in two leakproof containers.
