How to prevent the hotel from giving me a new towel on each day?

How to prevent the hotel from giving me a new towel on each day? - Pair of oven gloves on cabinet door in kitchen

I was on a business trip to the US recently. In my hotel there was a typical sign saying: save the planet by reusing your towels; hang your towel if you are happy to reuse it.

Day 1, I hang my towel rather messily and I get a new one.

Day 2, I hang the towel quite neatly and again I get a new one.

Day 3, I hang the towel neatly and put the sign on top of it but I still get a new one.

Any tips on encouraging a hotel to actually follow its own stated policy?



Best Answer

Take the towel with you when they leave the hotel room (just not on the day you check out).
