Hotels I have visited recently have all stopped cleaning rooms, due to "COVID-19 safety". But, when you request so at the reception, they will clean it (fresh towels is nice when you stay a week).
Don't get me wrong, I think this is actually smart, because most guest don't need to have their room cleaned every day. This is a massive cost saver for hotels. However, you'd expect prices to go down by this cost saving measure, but instead, they have gone up. Less service, higher prices.
The fact that their profit margins might increase if you decline cleaning service doesn’t change the fact that declining cleaning service is still a nice choice for the environment.
