pcbeck Posted May 5, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Come in your room in the evening, covers turned back, pillows fluffed, mint on the pillow, and animal towels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandis Posted May 5, 2004 #3 Share Posted May 5, 2004 They also have this in good hotels... The room steward prepares your bed in the evening to be ready for you when you want to go to sleep. Taking off the day cover, pulling back the sheets, putting a chocolate on the pillow and maybe also create a towel animal. If your cabin has bunk beds and they are needed, they will be turned down (they are usually hidden in the ceiling or turned against the wall). I guess that's were the name "turn down service" comes from. Also, the bathroom is usually cleaned a second time (first time in the morning) and towels replaced...
