Anonymous wrote:I had to stay in a Motel 6 recently on work travel to a remote location immediately followed by a stay at a Grand Hyatt and I was shocked to find that I preferred the old-school "fitted sheet, flat sheet, fuzzy brown blanket" Motel 6 setup to the upscale hotel.

Obviously the linens were higher quality at the Hyatt, but the pillows were so thick even using just one gave me a crick in my neck and the duvet was so hot I had to sleep with half my body uncovered. It was almost a "they were so preoccupied with whether they could that they didn't stop to consider if they should" situation with putting the fanciest linens they could without even considering if they were actually comfortable.


Similar - I stayed in a Best Western recently and found those types of basics 100x better than at Marriotts.
