Does anyone else miss single use soaps in hotel rooms?

Same here. And I’ve traveled a lot this year.

Me, too. The faux-snooty poster who says there aren’t bars of soap anymore is laughable.

I don't think it's snooty or faux-snooty. Many Holiday Inn Express pland other IHG properties have the dispensers locked to the wall and don't have bars of soap. They aren't high end hotels.

My experience is that the locked bottles are the standard in corporate owned chains and resorts--whether it's a Ritz Carlton or a Disney Resort or a Holiday Inn Express. Doesn't matter what the level is.

Independently owned one-location places--whether it's a dumpy independently owned motel, a nice independent golf resort, or a quaint B&B are more likely to have individual toiletries still.

I miss them. And twice now I’ve been in the shower and either the liquid soap or the shampoo has run out and not been refilled.

These soaps are not for your face!

Surprised no one has posted my pet peeve with the liquid products on the shower wall -- I can't read the labels without my glasses. More than once I've "washed" with conditioner.

Ugh yes I miss them! The communal pumps gross me out and are too often empty or hard to get out anyway. I wish hotels would offer single serve to those who request.

Nope. I hate the waste of them. And the little bottles.

Yes, the Le Labo and Diptyque ones. The hotel experience hasn’t been the same since.

Pretty much everywhere has bar soap available still. Even Waldorf Astoria is using the refillable as of my last stay earlier this year.

Hilton is so low brow.

Yeah, I wouldn’t be caught dead in a Hilton brand hotel 🙄 On a roadtrip last year, we drove straight through the night because we couldn’t locate a St Regis or Mandarin Oriental off the interstate. Next time we’ll take the PJ.

This just tells me you don’t travel for work and may just not have a job.

That's what I was thinking. I've stayed at around 15 hotels this year that were all over the map in terms of cost & geography, and I think one still had bar soap and individual shampoo bottles.

I like the refillable bottles because I don't care about having my room serviced every day and, especially if there is more than one person staying in the room, the little bottles don't last more than a day.

Faux snooty has a little friend now!

I'd rather be "faux snooty" vs. Ms. "nice hotels still have bar soap" and "Hiltons are low brow" who is "mistakenly snooty."

OP, you can buy single use soaps in packs of 100 or 200. Look on Amazon. There are many different kinds, all individually wrapped. Just pop one in your travel bag before you leave.

Easy.

Easy.

Plus you can use them for your guest bathroom and give some away to unhoused people.

There are so many options for home or industrial biodegradable, plant-based plastics.
