"Hi Kate--

You're prob being flooded with answers right now. But if you need it, I can get you where Shaggy (new hit "Sugarcane") hangs in Jamaica (he has a house there and in Miami), Riyanna in Barbados (always on the beaches) and more. My best…"

Susan McKee replied to Jen Karetnick's discussion Housekeeping Faux Pas? in Media Matters

"Never, ever has this happened to me, whether in a Motel 6 or a Ritz Carlton. At a resort In Malaysia, they took my clothing off the bed, folded them onto the couch, tucked frangipani blossoms in the folds, and made my bed.

I think you should write…"

"Thanks Sam. I'm certainly going to complain to the owner. Just curious to see if there's any precedent for this. Even Charlie Sheen probably had his bed made after his little tantrum. I can see why some guests might flip out if if their stuff was…"

"Jen, I'm not a travel writer, but I am a writer who does a lot of traveling. I have never encountered anything like this in any hotel, any country, any point along the price spectrum. Hampton Inn is not Four Seasons, but whatever it is or isn't,…"
