Hotel Fun Fact #15: Holiday Inn reports a loss of 560,000 towels a year!
Are you one of these five Americans? According to the British Hotel Association, one out of five Americans has taken a hotel towel and estimates that theft in hotels amounts to $100 million a year.
Tips for not being falsely accused of theft, saving money on your hotel bill:
1. Make sure you count the towels before you start using the towels. Missing one? Call the front desk immediately and let them know there's a shortage.
2. Before you leave your room each day lay out the used towels according to size so the housekeeping will see you haven't stashed any towels.
3. Check your bill before you sign it and make sure you have assurance the hotel will not be charging your card after you leave for any 'missing towels.'
