Hotels Maintain Temporary Feel

Clinging to their origins of housing bedouins, hotels stand firm in their single-day servings of everything from coffee and mini fridge offerings to the quintessential quotidian amount of shampoo, soap, and conditioner.

Checking in for a 32-day reservation, our source for this article, who wishes to remain anonymous on the basis that she is an Elite Member of most hotels and wishes to uphold her good standing with her hotels, said that she was surprised to still only find the "tiny morsels" and "disposable toiletries, and meager quantities". A long stay with such frequent checking in began to feel like she was in a mid-life crisis of being babysat again.

She asked of us, as reporters, "How can I breach the subject politely? It's their way of business and has been for generations..."

Two one-time use portions of shampoo and conditioner await you daily in hotels, even for longer stays.
