[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of the things you are saying are true in terms of reduced services and haven't been for a while.

Weird post.[/quote]

Really? I haven't looked at high-end hotels since last summer. Assumed nothing had changed, since I couldn't even get room service at a Marriott last week.

But I guess the question still remains. I don't much time in a hotel room (and prefer a VRBO so I have space, quiet, and the ability to cook dinner or spread out and eat takeout), so I'm curious what people in these luxury hotels.[/quote]

Attractive, spacious rooms
Luxurious bedding 
Spotless (hopefully)
Excellent personalized service 
Nice touches like towel warmers, turn down service etc 
Anyway this is a dumb question. If you have ever spent time in a crummy hotel like I have the difference is far and wide…

I've spent time in both, which is why I'm wondering. I dislike hotels as a rule and see them as a place to sleep. The idea of a resort where you never leave the property seems restrictive, like I said.[/quote]

NP but sometimes it depends. I've been to the Ritz Biscayne Bay (which I know some people here complain about) and it was nice to spend 3 days there just chilling. You can sit on the beach and get lunch delivered, and take a SUP or kayak out. You can sit by the pool (adult and family pools). You can take a bike out and ride down to the state park. Play tennis. We went off the island for dinner a couple of times but otherwise stayed on site. I wouldn't spend a week there, but it's nice for a weekend.

Same with ski resorts - we stayed at a nice hotel in Aspen. They picked us up at the airport. They drove or shuttled us to whichever of the 4 ski areas we wanted. They took our skis at the end of the day and stored them. Full breakfast was included. Super nice bar/lounge area. Helpful staff.

We often stay in airbnb's but sometimes it's nice to have a vacation where you don't have to worry about any of the details.[/quote]
