Hyatt is testing offering loyalty members a point bonus of 250 points per night for skipping house keeping. When Marriott introduced a similar bonus housekeeping staff protested the change as obviously fewer roomers being cleaned means less overall work and likely job cuts. Personally I don’t like or need my room freshly made every day and will often specifically request my room to not be freshly made even if there is no point bonus on offer. I can understand where house keeping staff is coming from, but at the end of the day if customers are willing to skip housekeeping for as little as 250 points then chances are they didn’t really want their room cleaned in the first place.
