Hilton to cut daily housecleaning at their hotels

You can call down and request it, but if you don't they aren't going to come in and clean the room/make the bed/etc.

This won't apply to their premium properties, but this will allow any hotel/motel at or below (which is probably 75% of all places) Hilton's level to follow suit.

Another indicator of what Covid pulled forward economically. Eventually it would have happened, just not this soon.

    Truth be told I don’t want someone else in my room during my stay, so I’m personally OK with this.

    Is daily cleaning extra if you do want it?

    Didn't say there was, but makes sense next step for revenue stream would be Housekeeping provided every 3rd day and if you want it more than that it will be extra.

    Well done DDJ. Thinking like a capitalist CEO

    I like to cut costs under the guise of environmental sustainability, that’s what I like.

    I don’t particularly enjoy staff going in my room unless it’s really needed. Like this time in Hawaii I met a slutty Russian stripper (redundant? 2x?) and I had been promised a threesome if I met a suitable candidate. I declared her suitable. But she wanted to hang out again the next day, and I decided to press my luck and get the angry girlfriend treatment. My new friend being a lush was to be expected, her puking all over the mini fridge area was less so. Big thanks to the staff at the Hilton Hawaiian Village for promptly cleaning up that mess of pizza, a rainbow of beverages that had been drunk out of hollowed out pineapples, and Plan B.

    If that story didn’t warm your heart I have another one. One of my dads left $10k cash in the safe of the Maui Hyatt something or other and didn’t realize it until we were home. They called, one of the cleaning staff had made the discovery and turned it in. I assume he gave them a reward, and I learned a valuable lesson: don’t leave shit in the hotel safe because obviously they can open that.

    Probably not, just saves on staffing and operating costs.

    I'd prefer this way anyway

    You probably never had a hot housekeeper walking in on you fantasy.

    Your dad runs drugs? Or evades taxes? Or abundance?

    Not since my wild threesome with a bellhop and front-desk clerk.

    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.

    Option C. As far as I know the closest he’s come to running drugs is giving my 15 year old self a ride when I had a bag of weed or blow on me. Evading taxes is a no brainer with Option C, but in a classy, white collar American patriot kind of way. This was also ~20 years ago when society was more cash friendly, and my parents didn’t want to be left in want in case they wanted to buy an art or jewelry from someone unable to take card.
