I was just told that it is common practice for hotels to not change the blankets between guests; that they change the sheets but the blankets are only changed "every so often" unless they are "visibly stained". I was told that it would not be cost effective to wash the blankets and mattress pad between each guest. Personally, I find that unacceptable and I'm wondering...
Would you stay in a hotel if you knew this was true?

I have never expected them to change anything but the sheets and pillow case between guests.
That is the only thing that touches your skin.
I would expect them to change them regularly enough that they would be fresh and not smelly or stained though.

You might consider traveling with your own bedding, or wear a full body prophelactive having a full face respirator.
I'd like to know if you find any federal or local SOPs for changing beds.

Legs knock a night off together in a motel and tell cs how we feel about it!
