I'm kind of iffy on the whole policy change for hotels. I get why they're doing it with security and all, but I just hate being bothered with it. When we go to a hotel, we very rarely elect for housekeeping to do the room and just leave the DnD sign up the whole time. Mainly because I feel like I have to clean and put everything away neat and tidy (clothes put away, makeup/toiletries/hair dryer back in bags, laptops secured, credit/cash secured, beds somewhat neat, etc) before they come in, which is a hassle I just don't want to deal with on vacation. We clean the room before we leave (trash in container, counter wiped down, etc), but in between check-in and check-out I like to just leave everything alone.
I assume this policy is going to be implemented at most hotels so will probably just have to suck it up, but I wish I didn't have to! lol
