I think there has also been a generational change in culture/expectations. Personally even if I’m staying at a nice place I don’t like having someone come into my room and rearrange stuff. I am a neat enough person that I don’t need someone’s help keeping a room usable after using it for only a day. I’d rather save that money.

I'm totally with you. If someone doesn't come into my room for 3 or 4 days, possibly interrupting me when I'm working, I am perfectly good with that.

I had a co-worker who really hated people coming into her room. I think we were in Japan and she had a Do Not Disturb sign up and she got really pissed when a maid came in and made up her room anyway.

First thing I do when I check into a hotel is find the Do Not Disturb sign and hang it on the outside doorknob. It stays there until I check out. Even then, it does not stop cleaning staff from trying.

A good hotel will have a policy to check all hotel rooms on a regular basis (at least once per week), regardless of a do not disturb sign. Just one person living in squalor can cause myriad pests and damage to spread to many other hotel rooms.

Yeah I'm nostly that way myself but I'd like at minimum empty the trash and restock the toilet paper, etc. without needing a call to the front desk to ask for those things.
