Hotel clean towel policy
What's worse that a hotel making you feel like you're barely human for daring to want a clean towel every now and again (when it's clearly in their own financial interests for you not to)?
A hotel that makes you feel like a kitten killer for wanting a clean towel that instructs you to leave your towel on the floor to get a clean one, or to put it back on the rack otherwise. You know, on top of the dry, clean ones. I can live without a clean towel every day, just so long as there's a place I can leave my part-used towel other than the floor where it's not going to get the rest all manky. I presume modern towel rail technology exists in other hotels and homes within the Seattle area? Anyway, rant over, I feel much better now. Thanks for your attention, you may go about your business now. |
I just throw it over the shower rod.
Glad I could solve this pressing problem for you. |

the place we stay often replaces the ones on the shower rod!..

I stayed at a Starwood hotel recently and they had a little sign out that said something along the lines of "hang this sign on your door and we won't change your towels but we'll give you 500 SPG points per night". I happily went without a change of towels for a couple days :) (though, oddly enough, they did ignore the sign one night)

Every hotel I've ever stayed in has a hook on the back of the door for hanging towels. And I've quite frequently seen the signs stating "a towel on the floor means 'please replace' " and such and never once felt like I'd killed a kitten by putting the towel on the floor.

Do you wash your towels at home every day? If not what do you do with it? Hang it on the towel rack to dry? On the hook on the back of the door? On the shower rod?
Nobody is asking you to kill a kitten, but a the same time most people don't need a new towel after each shower, but you have that option available to you if that's what you want. |

That being said, I think the idea of having all of these amenities at a hotel have long been standard because we are paying a sum of money that we deem worthy of a standard of living above our normal daily life where we don't wash our towels and sheets every day. Hotels are in fact our escape from reality. Would I take 500 SPG a night to not have these luxuries, but those are just my thoughts. :D |
Whilst I don't change my towels every day at home, I do hang them up beside a window so they can completely dry / air out between showers. It is horrible to try and dry youself with a still damp towel! The towel rails in hotel bathrooms are rarely heated, and there is not enough air circulation to get them bone dry between my morning and evening shower. I do expect washcloths changed everyday, just as I do at home.

at my club, a number of the people seem to need 4 towels to get the job done. i do not understand the clean towel for every drying crew. one is supposed to remove the filth and germs with bathing, not with towel abrasion.
i do not sleep on the sheets or pillowcase provided by the hotel. the chemicals used to clean the bedding would scorch fry a shoe. i bring my sleeping bag insert, and my own pillow case. i am not a cleanness freak, my skin just cannot tolerate those harsh chemicals. |
while on the subject of towels, soaked towels make excellent hudimifiers. soak the towel, and put it over the heat source in the room to raise the humidity. i have tried filling the bathtub, and soaking the shower, but a couple of towels(clean or dirty) work best.

Granted, I don't stay in hotels as often as most of my FT colleagues, but in my experience, the room attendants ALWAYS change the towels every day, even when I hang the card, or hang up the towels as instructed, or whatever.

Usually towels in the tub or on the floor is replaced..
If you want to reuse, just hang it over the rod or hook.. |
