Did you ask them?
Good question who is following this Money trait. This sounds liked an internal audit issue and how much is it going to cost to track the supplies and the expenses of these items? LOL
) anyway, the bathrooms had four times as many supplies as normal. Basically they were putting extra individual shampoo, conditioners, and lotions back when that’s what they put out. So we were paying maintenance fees for all these extra supplies for these kids who don’t necessarily take good care of the rooms when they’re staying there…that was a big disappointment for us. I have to say I was happy when they went away from the individual bottles. I get a kick out of places that give us only a few coffee filters and not enough for seven pots of morning coffee. They cost about 1 penny at the dollar store and 2 cents each at national grocery stores.
We've never been at a timeshare that didn't give us sufficient filters for a full week worth of coffee. That's not to say we had enough coffee to last a full week or if they were coffee filter packets that we had enough for a week. Usually we get 2 packets of loose coffee (one of each) or 2 or 3 filter packets (1 Decaf). We travel across all types of timeshares including Wyndham, Bluegreen, DVC and Marriott.
Ah yes… the points people…. the dregs of society.
Those dang points. They never seem to equal out to redeeming a full weeks stay?
Welcome Home! Funny... I don't charge guests at my home for incidentals, fresh bedding or standard services covered by annual fees.
Yes.
We have a buyer for our last 15K Worldmark points, and Cliff has another cancer cleanup procedure during what would have been our last trip to the Big Bear resort. We are down to our last half a dozen bars of timeshare soap and our last flat skinny box of Kleenex that fits perfectly in the car door. Haven’t bought bar soap for over twenty years, so will have to add a budget line for that on my expense spread sheet!
Do you have a stock of pencils from the golf course too? I find they fit perfectly behind the ear when doing DIY
Oh, and I’ll have to start buying scrunges; although the stash of lightly used ones under my sink will last me quite a while yet. Hated those creepy smiley face scrunges Worldmark went to, so never took those home. I often fold a scrunge to wipe a knife blade, and the open cut outs for the face looked like a cut hand waiting to happen.
Me too! I bring my own, and I keep track of where I am staying to make sure to have cone or basket type filters. I don't drink the Marriott provided coffee. It tastes old and stale to me. I buy Starbucks flavored coffees (Mocha or Caramel blends) and enjoy my coffee every morning.
Hotels do charge but NOT timeshares. This is something new that Marriott started on May 1st in SC. I think it is a BIG mistake that the board and GM at each Marriott should have sent a letter or email explaining the new policy. The people arriving for that week received a notice about the cost, I believe it was $3 for a roll of TP, and $3 for a small bottle of Palmolive dish soap.
One roll of paper towels and four dishwasher packets seem a little cheap to me. Housekeeping will likely be stuck doing dishwashing loads after people check out, so this will cost resorts more than providing at least 7 dishwashing packs. They will also have to wait 3 hr. for the dishwasher cycle to complete.
I hope SW is now using a large Palmolive dish detergent, last year it was the small one and they are charging $3 to replace that.
