I usually stay pretty loyal to the Hampton Inn chain (I’ve been a faithful sleeper there since before I knew that Paris Hilton existed), but this week in Chicago I am staying at Kimpton’s Hotel Allegro. The hotel is nice enough and the staff certainly is friendly, but what impressed me was the housekeeping.

Yeah.

I’m used to seeing the little cards in the hotel room’s bathroom saying that if you leave your towel on the floor (like a slob) they’ll replace it but if you hang it up (like a good guest) they’ll leave it for you. The little card usually says how much water and detergent waste you can save by reusing your towel. Never before has my towel on the hook (or bar) been left alone. This was the first time I’ve been able to reuse my towel -and they left the used soap and shampoo in the shower!

I know I shouldn’t be so excited about this, but despite what the cards say the housekeeping always seems to give me new towels regardless of my wishes.

Kudos Hotel Allegro!

PS- it is now cold here in Chicago. Cold and windy.
