Red face Sign of the times

Bad economy

Both increase in thefts and crunch on hotel numbers...



"Due to the popularity of our room amenities..." LOL

Do people need things this badly? Most average hotels have average towels at best. I'll take my home towels any day!

Holiday Inn Express? They've had those up for years. Even when the economy is good, too many people think they have a right to take anything they want because they rented a room for the night.
