I always have them clean. And I'm that horrible person who wants clean towels every day :) To me, it's part of the perqs of being in a hotel. Although this last time, the hotel was offering Starwood points for not getting clean sheets and towels.
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

I'm still not sure if it was turndown service or something more bizarre that was responsible for me finding the radio blaring salsa music when I returned to my haunted hotel room at 1 a.m.

There is someone playing violin in the hotel room next to mine. Not badly, but still random.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I keep towels and sheets, but expect them to make my bed and tidy each day. I love coming back to a clean room.

Hey, meara is in LA!
I like having housekeeping come in and make the beds. I wish I had someone at home to come make the beds too. I'm fine with making my own, but I resent like hell making the kids' beds, and they almost never make them without being nagged, and there's only so many things I'm willing to nag them about.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I instinctively make the bed when I get out of it so cleaning staff doesn't really help me unless I'm somewhere long enough to need re-stocking of toilet paper and such...and since I rarely spend more than a few days in hotel I prefer to just keep the do not disturb sign out at all times and save the cleaning staff a few minutes a day. Unless there's serious filthy cleanup and clean towels are needed...I only wash mine at home every other week or so. Hey, I only dry off once i'm clean, right? How dirty are the towels gonna get? (yeah, yeah, I know, it's flawed logic but there's my brain.)

erin, if you're wrong about towels not getting that dirty when you dry off after washing thoroughly, I don't want to be right.
I do like having someone make the bed and clean the bathroom, so I never saw a reason to keep housekeeping out. But then, I don't get to stay in hotels much these days, le sigh.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
The older I get, the harder it is to switch from theatre hours, where I am up until 4 am and wake any time between 9 am and 3 pm, and regular office hours, where I have to be up by 6 at the latest. Yesterday I got up at 6 am fine, but then went back to bed and slept until 3. That made this morning brutal.

Ugh, Sophia, switching schedules like that is hard.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think I've decided to stay in my crappy apartment one more year. It's not likely that I could find a better one for enough less than my new rent that it would save me any money. And if I get a new job that pays more, maybe I could increase my budget? (I realize I should not do that, as I already pay All The Money in rent.)
