    The Hotels have waged various hotel amenities wars over the ages. This video tells the story of those wars, and the amenities we gained and lost along the way.

    Thanks for watching everyone! I don't usually do requests as I have more video ideas than I have time to make usually, but I'm curious... what kind of videos would you like to see?

      Thomas Flight just cause you asked, i like these kinds of documentaries. So i dont know something similar about amazon vs brick & mortar stores would be an idea. Or talking about the loto and how its bad. I also really like your better call saul vid. Your choice though, i have 0 confidence on this advice :p i just wrote what i like

    As someone who work in the hotel industry, there is a constant war over breakfast options and robes. Managers would travel around the country at least once a month to a different better ranked hotel to check out the competition, and would steal manufacturer's contacts to upgrade their own supplies. We upgrade every 2 years on areas deemed not up to standard to keep up with customer demand.

    In hotels I've stayed at recently, I've seen an egregious trend of tacking an additional "amenities fee" on top of the price of the room. The rooms aren't cheaper, they're just literally raising the price to get you to pay for the same amenities a second time. If that wasn't bad enough, some amenities fees go towards "minibar credit" allowing you to take things from the minibar "for free" up to a certain amount. That's right, you're paying extra to have some of that money given back to you in a lesser form, that can only be spent on grossly overpriced products you don't even want. Not only that, the products can be priced in a way that is impossible to take exactly the offered value (e.g. products costing $8 and $12 when they give you $10 credit) forcing you to leave credit unspent, or go over and have to spend extra.

    The very important goal of a hotel is to make their guest the best feeling while staying in. A lot of amenities are offered on different hotel establisments to give their guest the SATISFACTION; cleanliness, luxury, service. They are competitive to be known . As for me, as long s the hotel gives me the comfort and provides great service. I will be satisfied even if it is not luxurious.

      @@ThomasFlight Well, the changes in quality from clip to clip weren't that noticeable. I guess it means that either the grain trick worked, or I paid much more attention to the narrative.
