Hilton to cut daily housecleaning at their hotels

RatherBeBrewing

I had my first experience this weekend with housekeeping by request only. I stayed at this hotel almost a dozen times, most recently six or seven months ago and they changed it since then. No idea if it’s an industry trend spearheaded by the big chains, as someone predicted, or if this is just one of those Covid ripples as businesses try to cut costs.

This should have always been a thing. I enjoyed not having to hear “hauskeeeepin” every time I was on the girlfriend or toilet. Pre-emptive: If attractive maids exist then either they are not employed in hotels I stay in, I never noticed beyond the depressing hotel gear they wear, or I’ve never thought of making one an involuntary voyeur.

We were only there for three days, but I don’t think I would have needed housekeeping for another week or so. I just take towels from the maid cart or the front desk and set my used towels/garbage in the hall.

Bonus tip: Is one of the rooms on your floor being loud? Screaming children, domestic disputes, heavy people walking? Drop the garbage and/or towels in front of their door.

I never used housekeeping

As stated above the maid cart has everything you need

I really don’t want nor need anyone in my room if it’s a weekend trip. Need my coffee though and just snag that off the cart on my way back to the room after breakfast anyway.

i kneel with kaepsknee on this one, if its a quick trip, i dont need my room made up/towels refreshed.

kudos to the guy/girl/they/them in hilton's fp&a department for finding ways to cut costs.

About 8 years ago spg (now Marriott) started giving you extra points if you signed up for no maid service. Can’t believe everyone else didnt adopt that model
