I'm white with very, very thick hair and an oily scalp.

a night stand on each side of the bed WITH a place to charge a phone, and enough towel hooks for the occupancy max of the room (so if the room sleeps 4, then FOUR people will need to hang up wet towels. It also means we will need FOUR towels to begin with. Not 2, not 3, FOUR. Its right there in the reservation we are checking in with 4 people.)

Take curly hair, always bring my own shampoo and conditioner. Hate the rainfall showers. Hotel bathrooms never have enough hooks and towel bars

We have been on a road trip, and discovered the Hilton brand called Tru. They’re pretty minimalistic and the rooms are small, but it’s the first hotel I’ve stayed in where it actually feels like someone who had actually stayed in a hotel gave some thought to the design. I looked it up on line and that is the case. They’re not luxurious, but perfect for one night or two as you pass through a place.

Tru has been around for a long time. We stayed in a few years ago with travel sports.

I think people who just naturally have more oily skin/hair don’t need conditioner as much. Conditioner replaces our natural oils which we wash out, but some people’s skin just produces oil more than others’.
Actually it's more of a detangler. I have oily hair but it's a little past my shoulders. Without conditioner (which I only use on the bottom 1/3 of my hair) it would take forever to comb wet.

I found it interesting. The conditioner is always crappy when they have it. I always bring my own. But I didj't think it was a gendered thing, I just assumed the supplies were bare-boned.
More that most people don't use it.
Most women use conditioner.
Yes, but most don't use the cheap hotel conditioner. I always bring my own.

I have thin hair and don't use conditioner or own a hairbrush. I do blowdry and use a volumizing spray though

First of all, when you use the toilet, you then need to come out of the room to wash your hands, which I just don’t like, especially during the night. Secondly, maybe this is silly of me, but I like a little privacy to put on my make up. I don’t need my husband and kids as an audience.
Disagree. I love when the sink is separate from the toilet and shower. Frankly I'd like all 3 to be separate from each other. I like to fix my hair in the morning, but the steam from all the showers won't let me do it in the bathroom. And I don't want to be putting on makeup while my toddlers are pooping. Blech.
My favorite setup is the jack n jill sort of style where there's a nice sink and countertop, and then the tub and toilet are together.

Lack of counter space drives me nuts. Also: vessel sinks, dim lighting, overly complicated shower knobs, oversized/heavy towels and bathrobes, lack of hooks or spots to hang wet workout clothes. Ironically, I find that a lot of these problems are more common in higher end hotels that prioritize design over function. Like how higher end hotels have Nespresso instead of regular coffee machines. I vastly prefer having a big cup of brewed coffee over a tiny ass sip of espresso. Also, never enough coat hangers.

Right? I just want a little privacy. The barn door and the frosted glass-panel doors (and some places have both!) are just TMI for me. no thank you.
They really are the worst. Barn doors are only good for areas where you don't really need a door and is there for show. They serve zero practical purpose. I will also avoid booking places that have them.
My hotel pet peeve is the lack of clocks now. I get that most people use their phone as their alarms so I don't need to alarm part. But a digital clock that I can easily see is so useful. I have the same issue with airports--its so hard to find a clock in most airports and its the one place where you need them the most.

Right. And women make up 50% of "people". So if we assume that very few men use conditioner, and somewhere between 60-80% of women do (that's "most women"), math would indicate that "most people" don't.
However ... I do think mid-level hotels cater to business travelers, and many are still stuck in an era where most business travelers were men. So this idea of not needing conditioner probably made even more sense 20 years ago, closer to neutral now. I do seem to notice more hotels stocking conditioner than when I was in college, so maybe they are evolving??
Huh. In my experience, most males do use conditioner. Unless they have shaved/nearly shaved heads.
Maybe all the people I know just have very dry hair.
