Actually I think that's a reaction to the public becoming gradually aware that most motels/some hotels don't reclean the bedspreads for every guest. Hilton doesn't want to get dragged into that. I'm (pretty) sure they've always cleaned their duvets. They're higher up the payscale then Holiday Inn and so on.That just makes me wonder what in the room wasn't cleaned and changed.
This was a Hampton Inn, which is equivalent to a holiday inn IMO. It's still a hilton property but... Not top tier. I've seen it in a Hilton proper as well though. Seems so odd to me.
Oh, yeah. Hampton I'm less sure about. The way I see it, none of us should be surprised. Motel 6 can be 45.99 a night. Hampton runs to 120-150, Hilton more than that. The price differential does mean something, and I don't think the somewhat nicer furniture and existence of an indoor pool is quite enough to cover it. They're sacrificing something. Quality of service and cleanliness are probably it.
