@JLeslie: There’s no housekeeping for the duration, so we have a big garbage bag full of garbage (food garbage like lobster tails and salad) for the cleaning person. We probably could have gotten extra towels although we didn’t. We brought our own shampoo and conditioner but I got some extra just in case. There’s no making beds, no vacuuming, no new towels, no taking out garbage, no breakfast service, no lounge area open to eat breakfast, no coffee in the lobby, no pool, no fitness room. You can get coffee on request by asking the front desk person.
For breakfast, you put in your order the night before from a limited menu and request a time, and in the morning the breakfast is in the lounge area to be picked up.
The hallways have bags of garbage from people putting their garbage out. We didn’t do that, we just have the one big bag with four days of garbage.
I don’t think it will take any longer for the cleaning person to clean each room, just that supposedly they’re using Lysol products. I do see how the hotel is saving on labor because each room is not being cleaned daily, plus there’s no staff serving a breakfast buffet and cooking breakfast foods, plus there’s no staff maintaining the pool and fitness area.
The front desk person is a bit busier because people will ask her for cups of coffee. There’s also a coffee maker in the room.
